9/26/2012 - The Charlotte Observer - David Germain, Associated Press

The focus of the save-our-school drama "Won't Back Down" practically assures it will fail to join the ranks of great, or even good, education tales.

Won't Back Down

If you are a teacher or a Democrat Politician, you won't like this movie because it is trying to show the parenting public how the school system is corrupt. Teachers and Democrat Politicians are for keeping control of the current school system. For teachers the current system gives them a job that is un-fireable and not tied to their classroom performance. For Democrat Politicians, the current system gives them a huge voting base for which they rally for at all cost. This movie is against both of these groups.
