After seeing how the ultra-beautiful Charlize Theron and semi-beautiful Miley Cyrus look in their short hair, I'd say "cut it off" to ANY Hollywood types!

Wow. Take a deep breath and remember the voices arent real. I loved the movie. Public school are lacking in many parts of they country and I think the movie shed light on that. If you do not believe there is a problem, compare our countries academic levels to other countries. Teachers are underpaid, test scores are low, and facilities are lacking in needed materials and programs. Rather than developing a conspiracy theory and bashing a paid actor who has children herself and I am very certain cares about education, maybe take a second look at the film and a real look at the reality that our school systems need change and the attention that this movie brought.

Actually, I don't miss Ms. Gyllenhaal's old hair as much as I miss the person she used to be. Ms. Gyllenhaal's poorly thought out agreement to appear in the absolutely horrible, anti-education, anti-teacher, anti-student "Won’t Back Down" is an absolute low-point on her resume.
Didn't she think it out beforehand? Was she completely clueless about how she was being used by a handful of far-right, anti-gay, anti-American billionaires who were paying both cast and crew to make this vicious, deceitful piece of garbage?
This was the type of film that would have come out of the old Soviet Union or Mussolini's Italy: A Potemkin Village, expensively constructed to look and sound "real", with the goal of misleading and deliberately confusing the parents of children throughout our entire country.
I've never seen such a raw, crude, depraved attack on the people who teach our children. It was horrific.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and everyone else associated with "Won’t Back Down" owes us a profound and sincere apology. They've injected mendacious poison into the ongoing debate about America's public schools. Ms. Gyllenhaal and everyone else associated with this "film" needs to acknowledge their complicity in all of this and beg our forgiveness.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and the other stars of this film are rich; so maybe, in their mind, they feel that public education is for "little people" who don't really count in their elite circles---except to maybe bring them another drink on their yacht.
But, whether Gyllenhaal admits her mistake, and apologizes for helping the anti-schools, anti-gay, anti-teacher right-winger who paid to have this awful film made---a extremist, anti-gay activist named Philip Anschutz---she'll have to do a LOT in the coming years to make up for this grievous error.
Maggie: What were you thinking? Or were you? But, you could still regain a lot of lost respect if you simply admitted you were wrong and move on.
