Whitfield County Social Studies Teacher Shows portions of the Movie "300," UPDATE.
People are talking. Some nice, some not so nice. Here are a few more links and a couple of quotes about what people think. I will get to some comments from Channel 9. Those are hilarious!
"Nothing wrong with the introduction, assuming that you want to give kids the grity (sic) version of the history and not the whitewashed, cleaned up version that most government schools seem to prefer. When I went to see it the first time in the theater, the family next to me brought their child who appeared to be six years old or so. Now THAT, is messed up." (Source: On a Sports Board)
"This teacher was trying to make this rather boring subject somewhat interesting and this whiny B**ch is having none of it." (Source: Get that silver spoon out of your mouth)
"I don't know how anyone else feels about this but I own this movie....bought it the day it was released......absolutely love it.......great movie.......any mother who protects her child to this extent should have her ass kicked..." (Source: Wicked Vixen)
The last quote would have satisfied me more if the author had explicated the degree of kicking necessary and a more precise location posteriorly. But that's just me.
Other links about 300:
"A technically exciting videogame (sic) of a film, 300 loses touch with a critical and moving event in Greek history...To judge this film's adherence to historical fact (insofar as we understand it) is to do it a disservice, for the film does not even pretend to be historically accurate. It is based on a graphic novel developed by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, whose previous credits are mainly as comic book and graphic novel writers and illustrators." (Emphasis Mine.
