distancing?

ok, so this item from people.com is quite ironic....

Michelle Williams has a shot at collecting her first Oscar Sunday night for her performance in Brokeback Mountain, but not everyone is applauding the young actress.

Williams, 25, who is nominated for best supporting actress opposite real-life fiancé Heath Ledger (who is nominated in the best actor category), has been snubbed in the press by the headmaster of her former school, Santa Fe Christian, in Solana Beach, Calif.

"Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution. We would not approve of her movies and TV shows," Santa Fe Christian headmaster Jim Hopson told the San Diego Union Tribune. "We'd not like to be tied to 'Brokeback Mountain.'"

ok, so.......at no point when i was watching this film did it cross my mind about where any of the cast members went to school......and the notion that said school would be tied to the movie is equally laughable, especially since the name of a school that would snub an oscar-nomiated alum is now splashed in the media from sea to shining sea thanks to that public disavowing..........sante fe christian school, where we love our neighbors like ourselves (Christ's golden rule) excepting when we don't agree with their choice of film roles.......that ought to attract new students.......eh?
