Last weekend, with the nationwide opening, albeit, not here in Wichita Falls, of the controversial, documentary movie "Bully", I did a poll asking about the severity of the problem in Wichita Falls I.S.D. the response was overwhelming. As well as the real-life accounts of recent incidents in the local school system.
Perhaps the reason Justin Bieber has been so outspoken in his efforts to reduce the rating for the documentary ‘Bully’ from R to PG-13 is that he was bullied himself. The ‘Boyfriend’ singer made the admission during a chat with Showbiz Tonight.
With all the hype surrounding the movie "Bully" the question I have to ask is, "How much is it happening here, in Wichita Falls?" Please take our poll, especially if you are in middle or high school, or the parent of a middle school child or high school student.
For the past few weeks there has been a battle brewing between the Weinstein Company and MPAA over the rating for the documentary "Bully", with the MPAA refusing to back down from its "R" rating due to "brief use of explicit language." Now, the Weinstein Company has come up with a way around the rating.
