Parental Consent to Watch Lee Daniel’s The ButlerDear NYOS Parent,I am planning on showing the film The Butler (2013) in U.S. History class. This film provides a great depiction of the civil rights movement, illustrating many important events and concepts of the era. We will also use it to study point-of-view and bias as we discuss the ways in which the film portrays each of the presidents we’ve studied. The film is based on the true story of a White House butler who served eight different presidents through the civil rights movement, Vietnam, and other major U.S. history events. The film is rated PG-13 for some violence and disturbing images, language, sexual material, thematic elements and smoking. A detailed description of these elements is available at if you search the title of the movie. If you prefer that your student does not watch the film, I will provide an alternative assignment.Please sign below if you consent to your student watching the film and return it by May 7.Student Name: ____________________________________Parent Signature:___________________________________ Date: ___________________Please let me know if you have any questions!Thanks,Jenny TownsendU.S. History Teacherjtownsend@ ................
