?Cool Runnings? screening canceled by high school for being ?racially insensitive?
 

Democrats have lost their collective minds :2 cents::2 cents:

Controversy erupted at a Massachusetts high school this week when its principal iced plans to screen ?Cool Runnings,? a live-action Disney comedy about the Jamaican national bobsled team?s Olympic debut, citing the film?s potentially ?culturally and racially insensitive? content.

Students at Wayland High School in Wayland, a suburb of Boston, were scheduled to watch the movie during the middle of their annual post-midterms ?winter week,? but the screening was canceled over concerns raised with their principal, Allyson Mizoguchi.

?Following the recent announcement that Cool Runnings would be the movie shown this year, I received concerns from members of our community that raised my awareness about elements of the movie that could be viewed as culturally and racially insensitive. After researching these concerns further, I felt that Cool Runnings no longer fit the purpose, values, and scheduling format for an all-school event,? Ms. Mizoguchi wrote in a campus-wide email sent Tuesday, Boston?s Fox 25 reported.

The principal?s email triggered students to fire off more than 150 responses, and on Wednesday the school held an ?emergency forum? to discuss the decision, the report said.

?While our students did not have a chance to experience 90 minutes of comedic relief in the form of an all-school movie, many of them have engaged in valuable discussions and have thought critically about the information they consume whether they agreed with the decision or not,? Ms. Mizoguchi wrote in an email sent to parents Wednesday, The Metrowest Daily News reported.

Released in 1993, ?Cool Runnings? loosely recalls the Jamaican bobsled team?s first Winter Olympics appearance five years earlier in Calgary, Alberta.

?The movie is not really overtly racist,? Ms. Mizoguchi explained to Boston?s Daily News. ?It is the subtlety of stereotypes in the movie,? she said.

Only two out of 115 students supported the principal?s decision to cancel the ?Cool Runnings? screening, the student newspaper reported, according to Fox 25.

Good schtick. I get it now. Well done. A+. The Oscar goes to....you. Top notch job.

Wait a minute. Bobsleigh is definitely a northern/white person event. Isn't it cultural appropriation for non-whites to participate?

Good shtick bro. You'll go far.

Good point :thumbsup

But wait. I don't get you guys sometimes. You love socialist/communist collectivism and you behave like fascists but you accuse everyone you disagree with of being Russian and/or nazi.

Where is the coherence in that shtick? As writers shouldn't we have a a more cohesive angle? Or have I not done enough drugs yet to get it?

He's a paid soros bot :2 cents:

He's a Soros bot for sure but he doesn't get paid shit. He's a Mexifornian mental patient hogging the computer in the common area. His handlers believe that letting him use it all day is therapeutic. :1orglaugh

Ok Mr. Jack Torrance, since I'm on your ignore list, and you're on mine lets make a deal.

You never reply to any of my posts and I will never reply to any of yours.

First one to break it has to send the other $100. It will be publicly recorded here.

Deal?

While I wait for your answer here's some more Canadiana:



BTW the deal only includes replying directly to one another's posts. You can reply in threads made by the other person but just not directly to them.

And the offer for beers still stands. If you're inadmissible to Canada (which I hope) I am only minutes from the US border. Beer is way cheaper in the US anyways.

interesting that stereotypes would be the root cause for this.. basically they just eliminated all movies then? i can't think of any that doesn't use some form of stereotype

The fascist left strikes again.

It just shows what a farce sport is, every one of those girls are American. It reminds me of that professional "Brit" Mo Farrah.

Its just terrible that kids in 2018, yes you do realise its 2018? did not want to watch an dead beat comedy from 1993 in their lunch break, how fucking unthankful of them. Thank fucking god there are great reporters out there like Brian Benson to bring this to the attention of everyone.


If you missed that great movie maybe Mr Benson can recommend this great Church movie for you

"First Congregational Church is screening the documentary “Pack up Your Sorrows” Monday as part of its mental health series."

Natick church to screen Pack up Your Sorrows

... as part of its mental health series heheh

Uh 2 kids out of 115 didn't want to watch it because they thought it was "racist." So the principal shut the whole thing down because of 2 whiney (D) SJWs. If you watch the video, many kids said they were going home to watch the movie to spite the principal.

I bet the ones who went home to watch it didn't make it past half an hour of that tripe.

One generations attempt at inclusion is another generations diabolical horror show.
