Students miss out on opportunity with Molen
Bigfork | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 13 years, 5 months AGO
I cannot believe the Ronan High School principal would turn away Oscar-winning producer Jerry Molen from delivering a speech to his students. His upcoming new movie, “Obama’s America 2016” may be controversial, but according to Molen, his intended speech was to be “apolitical, inspirational.” I guess the principal didn’t bother asking.
I’ll bet there is not one high school student who hasn’t seen “Jurassic Park” or one parent who hasn’t seen Oscar winning “Schindler’s List” or one person who wouldn’t be better off for having seen “Rain Man,” all produced by Molen.
His students missed a wonderful opportunity to hear from a successful man in his field, and education came in last place when the Ronan High School principal cancelled Molen’s visit at the last minute.
Maybe if Michael Moore had been scheduled, it might have been different.
What a shame!
