Many people have started to degrade their standards for the feel good in the moment and Shelby Knox conveys that very well. Her parents were a little shocked about the whole situation of her wanting to take this stand, but they turned out to be very supported. This movie shows that there are very few people that still carry this point of view.
I did appreciate that she still participated in activities that would be considered normal for a teen to do. It was refreshing that there were some adults that wanted to try to help out and talk to teenagers. T hey are trying to show the children the repercussions of their actions and how they can be avoided. They don't even encourage the use of protective ways to avoid diseases and pregnancy. Shelby understands there are problems in certain points of view that people can't change.
It was very refreshing on how well she tried to keep to her beliefs. It was good to know that she wanted people to be comfortable with how they were trying to go about teaching the students. She is a very ambitious young lady and showed no restraint to shed emotion to her audience during many points of the movie. She showed how pregnant girls in her school were overlooked as if there were no issue.
Normalcy of teen pregnancy was not a main point in this film but it was a interesting and direct way to involve the audience in the suggestion that people are not paying enough attention. She spreads tolerance and understanding toward the issue by offer her time to dedication to spread awareness and compassion. She even expresses her confusion toward the paradox of someone having the view that Christians should be intolerant. At several points of the movie Shelby shares the constraints of being a liberal that lives with her parents that are extremely conservative.
This may be the case that she cannot always agree with her parents but they seemed to be very supportive to her. The Education of Shelby Knox was very interesting. The first thing I noticed was that Shelby was not the typical looking teenage girl. She was on the heavier side and she did not dress like most of the other teen girls.
She is also closer to her parents than other children on the movie. She was a typical Southern Baptist young lady. She tries to abide by all the rules her parents set for her, and her church.
During the movie, the pastor talks about abstinence over and over. He is dead set on telling the teens to wait until they are married and God will bless their union. Her parents also try their best to help her with her campaign, but because of their beliefs, they can only do so much.
I do however think they could have been more understanding in helping her with her message. She kinda had to do things on her own or with the Youth Commission. They really needed more guidance from some adults that were not afraid to step out of their beliefs and faith and deal with the real world. More teens should be aware of their sexual environments and the hardships that could come about when they throw themselves into these adult situations. The plot of the story revolves around a young Texan Southern Baptist Girl named Shelby Knox and her fight for a more comprehensive sex education curriculum within the public schools of Lubbock Texas.
She is deeply astonished and troubled about the fact that her town had the highest STD rate in the entire United States. She is equally appalled at the current sex educational standard that the school implements which calls for strict abstinence in all cases and punishment for any teacher or facility which deviates from this standard.
In order to reform these measures Shelby joins the Lubbock Youth Commission and went before the town board to address these disturbing problems. During the school board deliberation one of the committee members gets to the heart of the problem which Lubbock faces as a conservative town.
Viewing The Education of Shelby Knox was enjoyable but a bit tedious at times. I liked the movie as a whole, but Shelby was annoying. I tried to blame it on her age but as the film went on I thought she started acting more annoying and self-centered than her years could justify.
I did, however, think that she really tried to spread knowledge about sex education. The statistics for teen pregnancies and STDs shown at the beginning of the film was quite startling and it was nice to see someone doing something about it instead of ignoring the problem. Pastor Ed Ainsworth was an interesting character.
I disagreed with almost every word that came out of his mouth. It alarmed me that at one point he was explaining to a group of teens why condoms do not always he made it seem like hardly ever prevent unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases.
I liked Corry Nichols and at some points in the movie I wished the camera crew were following him around instead of Shelby. He knew when to take action and when to back off. The election for president of the Lubbock Youth Commission was intense. Here's how to get started on Reelhouse Participate by liking projects and videos.
