From various news reports, it looks like the family is seeking between $400,000 to $500,000 in damages. Here's more:</p> <blockquote><p>Richardson said his granddaughter was traumatized by the movie and had to undergo psychological treatment and counseling.</p> <p>In 2005, Richardson complained to school administrators about reading material that he said included curse words.</p> <p>"This was the last straw," he said. "I feel the lawsuit was necessary because of the warning I had already given them on the literature they were giving out to children to read. I told them it was against our faith."</p></blockquote> <p>Wow. I knew Brokeback Mountain was controversial but "traumatizing"? Really? </p> <p>Just... wow. </p> <p><a href="http://pro.imdb.com" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.buzzsugar.com/254491#comment movies Brokeback Mountain movie news Chicago Board of Education Jessica Turner Mon, 14 May 2007 11:06:47 -0700 BuzzSugar http://www.buzzsugar.com/254491
