I am Conway Springs alumni. I attended school in this district from Elementary through High School. My father was also born and raised in Conway Springs. I feel the town needs more teachers willing to open discussions regarding bullying and teach respect for the differences in each of us. Eventually, these kids will be released into the real world and will need to know how to respect the opinions and lives of others. Mr. Leahy, realizing controversial aspects of the film, addressed those aspects responsibly and sensibly. At most, he should receive a reprimand for breaking lesson plan protocol. The parents in Conway Springs should be proud to have an ally in preparing their children for life outside the shelter of this small town.
