PG-13, R-rated films banned from Ohio high school

MARYSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — On complaints from parents, an Ohio school district is barring high school classes from showing PG-13 and R-rated films, such as the Holocaust epic “Schindler’s List.”

Marysville Superintendent Larry Zimmerman says the moratorium he announced at a school board meeting Monday is at least temporary. Board members want to draft a permanent policy on movie ratings after hearing from more people in the community.

The board meeting drew around 30 parents and students who complained about films that they said included mature content and should not have been shown in Marysville High School classrooms.

They singled out “Schindler’s List,” the D-Day drama “Saving Private Ryan” and the civil war film “Glory.”
