Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Leda Beth Vincent (Raquel Welch) lives in the small town of Shiloh, where she works as a cocktail waitress. She isn't too well-liked there, as she is no blushing virgin, but she is far from a whore and has been a loving, responsible mother to her now-high-schooler daughter Julie (Christa Denton) and tried to raise her right. When she becomes aware that Julie's very popular history teacher, Mr. George Baker (Ronny Cox), is spreading racist, anti-Semitic ideas among his students, she decides to ask him for an explanation, but comes up against a wall. Nobody in town--least of all Julie--wants to support her, and it looks like she needs to bring the Board of Education to court. The trouble is that a trampy school dropout counts for little compared to the holders of knowledge and morality. Written by Guy Bellinger |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Although the end credits claim that the events and characters are fictitious, the script was based on actual facts that took place in a Canadian town where a history teacher (and former Mayor) had used his classes to vilify Jews and denied that Adolf Hitler had even ordered the "Final Solution". Parents concerned about what their children were learning mounted a successful legal battle to have the teacher fired. See more » |
