'Faust' Opera Video Stirs Angry Parents
[yahoo! news, free]
Some parents in this prairie town are angry with an elementary school music teacher for showing pupils a video about the opera "Faust," whose title character sells his soul to the devil in exchange for being young again.
"Any adult with common sense would not think that video was appropriate for a young person to see. I'm not sure it's appropriate for a high school student," Robby Warner said after two of her children saw the video.
Another parent, Casey Goodwin, said, "I think it glorifies Satan in some way."
Tresa Waggoner showed approximately 250 first-, second- and third-graders at Bennett Elementary portions of a 33-year-old series titled "Who's Afraid of Opera" a few weeks ago. [more, emphasis mine, the teacher's response is a great piece of pointed diplomacy!]
...glorifies satan? well, let's see, casey. faust sells his seoul to the devil for youth and the love of a beautiful maiden. he loses the girl when the devil causes him to kill her brother; she is sentenced to death for the murder of their illigitimate child and he goes to hell.
where can I get some of THAT hot satan action?!?"
...You can see your breath hanging in the air
You see homeless people, but you just don't care!
It's a sea of smiles in which we'd be glad to drown..
[And this movie's gonna make our lives complete
Cos Terrance and Phillip are sweet!]
That's right! Its Sunday morning in our
quiet, little, whitebread, redneck mountain town!
