The LA Times makes the case for the documentary "Bully" and finding some way to show it to high school kids


"Certainly, most teens and pre-teenagers these days are fully familiar with bad language. They hear it all day at school and on the Internet, to which most have wide access. The strong language in "Bully" undoubtedly helps convey the ugly reality of the situations in the movie — they are the unscripted words of the kids themselves — but they might not all be absolutely necessary for the film to make a powerful statement. With both sides in this dispute agreeing that the film has educational and societal value, it would be a shame for either to let a couple of words stand in the way."

For the complete LA Time Editorial on this movie.
