Chris, a great movie although I know some HS adminstrators that frown on it being shown in HS particurally with the content. I think that social class is just important in that movie as is race so my might want to use it to show how race and social class are fused when African Americans are portrayed. And how upper class whites can use their privileged status.

I find the movie very interesting and I have used it, but I want to hone my discussion and connection to content.
