OPINION- Teacher Showed Minors 50 Shades of Grey

50 Shades of Grey, is a 2015 American erotic romantic drama film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson with a screenplay by Kelly Marcel. Although this movie was Rated R, meaning anyone under 17 requires an accompanying parent or adult guardian (age 21 or older) and 25 years and under must show ID in order to see this in a theatre this was an off campus event. The teacher was not alone on this trip she was accompanied by a school board member and coach named Kelly Kohegyi. There were two vehicles being driven to safely transport the young ladies to their destination.

The teacher in this case was requested by the teens (17+) to watch the movie at a pit stop heading to their activity. She gave them what they asked for and in my opinion she was not wrong. There could have been ways to prevent the young lady from seeing it by asking everyone in the car their age and making accommodations for her to get in the other vehicle. I don't believe the teacher should be put on administrative leave because for one a coach knows her team better than anyone especially since she spends the most time with them. The parent on the other hand went a little too far but her stance isn't overlooked. I understand she was not raising her 14- year old daughter to watch R-Rated movies but things happen. Living in todays society sadly she was bound to be exposed to things of negative nature as she was growing up whether it just be from walking down the street or on a television screen. She could have expressed her concerns verbally with the adults who were present without harassing them. She's trying to be revengeful as far as getting the teacher removed from the school when thats not needed. Her daughter was simply in the wrong car which by the way did I mention was filled with young ladies ages 17+ at the wrong time. How can one learn if you don't let them live? Simply without letting her live and learn from her mistakes can lead her down the road of making bad decisions and movie choices.
