Why was the movie "off limits"? By the time my son is in high school, I can't anticipate very much media that would be banned in the house. By that time he hopefully has absorbed some of my moral compass, and is also finding his own way. And frankly, I'd be happy to have him being asked to do critical analysis of a script. What is the difference between that and a play? Some of Shakespeare's stuff was pretty disturbing.
But we obviously have different views on this...

Again, my point. You have the right to instill YOUR values in your children. Or at least try to. It's NOT the school's job to do so.
How about a "language arts" class requesting that a student describe how the family dealt with the death of a member? This is the school's business? "Language arts"??? What the hell ever happened to English? I'm sorry, but your claim that no mind games are played in the Government schools is ludicrous..Too many parents know better.
