At a Miami school, a teacher mistakenly showed his elementary school students about twenty minutes of the horror film “Winnie The Pooh: Blood & Honey.” Not exactly the same innocent adventures as in the Disney version…
Certainly, we are not really in the same situation as that of those unfortunate schoolchildren in Holland last December, placed under the care of a perfectly sadistic school counselor who forced them to see The Exorcist during their lunch break. … But still.
According to information reported by the American channel CBS in early October, children from a school, The Academy of Innovative Education, located in Miami, were victims “from a negligent teacher”who mistakenly showed footage from the horror film Winnie The Pooh: Blood & Honey to fourth graders.
In this case a good twenty minutes. Released directly on VOD and DVD here last July, the film is a deviant rereading of the (mis)adventures of Winnie the Pooh and his friend Piglet, abandoned by their father…
The mother of two students, testifying, said she “completely abandoned by the school”, as she was leaving an interview with the school principal. According to his testimony, the teacher in question, a mathematics professor, did not stop the film, despite complaints from some students.
“It’s up to the teacher to look at the content” she adds, pointing out that children don’t have to decide what they want to see. The teacher was undoubtedly also deceived by the fact that the film was NR in the United States, or “Not Rated”, because it was not presented to the MPAA classification committee.
Contacted by CBS, the school still issued a press release apologizing. “The Academy of Innovative Education has become aware that a segment of a horror film was shown to fourth grade students on Monday October 2, 2023, and that it was not suitable for this age group.
Our administration quickly addressed this issue directly with the teacher and took appropriate steps to ensure the safety and well-being of students. We are actively monitoring students and our mental health counselor and principal have already met with students who have expressed concerns.”
