Comments on: The Education of Shelby Knox (2005) http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2006/10/18/the-education-of-shelby-knox-2005/ Film reviews and commentary tonight, before I forget tomorrow Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:14:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Joe Valdez http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2006/10/18/the-education-of-shelby-knox-2005/comment-page-1/#comment-68 Joe Valdez Fri, 20 Oct 2006 02:00:02 +0000 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/?p=887#comment-68 Thanks, Dad. I don't know if those were rhetorical questions or not, but here's my two cents. Most conservatives I know base the majority of their decisions off fear, and you can see the adults in this film scared of things they don't understand, probably don't want to understand. Meanwhile, Lubbock has some of the highest rates of teen pregnancy and STDs in the country. It takes a girl to stand up and ask questions that need to be asked in her community. Some people would rather live in a box, but I think the girl has the right idea. Thanks, Dad. I don’t know if those were rhetorical questions or not, but here’s my two cents.
