This is in response to Lynne Shifflett's post about approval for "R" rated films. I teach high school English and I once asked the department chair about showing "The Lord of the Flies," an "R" rated film. She told me that I could send out notices to parents asking them to contact me if they had a problem with their child's viewing of the film; I would probably follow the same procedure to show clips of "The Last Samurai." (The department chair said that the notes seldom make it home.)
