Questions about "Won't Back Down" movie [View all]

I decided to see this movie a couple days ago because sooner or later it's going to come up in a conversation or a union-bashing LTE in the local paper. Before the movie began there was an introduction by Michelle Rhee that mentioned her website (well, that should make viewers aware they are in for an indoctrination) and a "handout" the audience received. There was no handout where I saw it. Anyone go to the movie and receive a handout? Very curious as to what it contains.

In the movie Viola Davis's character is suspended by the principal and forced to leave the school or be arrested. I cannot remember the reason for the suspension - and it's driving me crazy! Anyone seen the movie and can help me out? Seemed very out of place in a movie preaching" teachers have a job for life after 2 years" and no one can touch them.

Got a laugh out of the parent who leads the drive to take over the school and get rid of the lousy teachers telling the TFA teacher, "You are a great teacher!" Yes, peeking in the classroom for 2 minutes is the best way to evaluate teachers. It's just that simple....
