The Golden Compass Controversy DE SOTO, Ill. - It's fast becoming one of the most talked about movies of the year. Now, "The Golden Compass" is causing some controversy in southern Illinois, even before it opens in local theaters. It all started with a note sent home to some parents in the De Soto Consolidated School District. The note comes from the Parent Teacher Organization at the school warning parents about taking their kids to see the movie, basing their warnings on the fact that the author of the trilogy Phillip Pullman is a well known atheist. Some parents were upset to read such a note coming home with their kids on Wednesday afternoon. "I was actually kind of shocked and a little surprised. My son said I can't go see the movie because of the school and the teacher said I couldn't. It's not their place," said Gidgyt Glisson of Elkville. |
