Georgia lawmakers last week introduced a resolution calling on schools to screen conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza’s latest movie, “America: Imagine A World Without Her.”
According to the resolution sponsored by six state House Republicans, D’Souza made the movie to “combat the idea that America is a ‘disgrace’ to the world.”
The resolution also includes D’Souza’s description of the movie as one that “analyzes common critiques of the country’s past, like slavery and the treatment of Native Americans, and ‘zooms in on them to see which parts are true and which are completely false.'”
Florida lawmakers introduced a bill last year that would require students in eighth and eleventh grades to watch the film. The Georgia resolution also targets eighth and eleventh grade, but does not require schools to show the film.
The conservative gadfly was president of The King’s College in New York from 2010-12. He was sentenced to five years probation in September after he pleaded guilty to violating campaign finance laws.

Oh yeah… and then make them sit through “Bless the Beasts and the Children.” I had to endure that. Make them do it too.
Anyway, yeah, make them watch this film. The back of the room will be a snarkfest a la “MST3k.” Forced cinema is a gift to the wise-asses. And for the rest… Hey, how much does DD’S get paid for these treatments? Double it.
There should be a requirement that the students be informed that the creator of the film is a convicted felon prior to viewing.
Because fair and balanced.
Are you really willing to take the risk and have GA children exposed to the words and images of a convicted felon? And no, I don’t mean Michael Moore or Roman Polanski…I mean Dinish D’Souza!
Fucking perfect. That was the first thing I thought of too.
I totally agree. Being forced to watch this film could well turn Georgia blue as soon as those kids reach voting age,
