Ya it was a sad day in our college that 15 members of our college and 2 of my classmates have dismissed by college management.We are studying cinema and television post graduation and short film making is a part of our curriculum.These people made a gay based short film and some acted in that completely naked.They have send the movie for a short film festival near by and got Principal's signature for sending it for frest.They have told Principal that's its just a short movie and Principal believed them to sign.And the movie was projected in the fest .And the problems starts when one of the member in the fest committee became irritated by the movie and called Principal questioning him of the work of students and shouted at him telling "is this what you are teaching ??".And the film also have a priest who into this type relationship and when College authority lead by a church saw this they also felt irritated and called a meeting with the parents,brother,sister of these 15 students and projected the movie in there front and after that gave a clean dismissal.Anyways we are not agreeing with them and plnniong to strike in front of college to make disnmissal to suspension.What do you think about the matter.Do a dismissal neceassary?

Based on the fact that the principal signed off on it, they'd have a pretty solid case against the school. It's shady of them not to have been up front about it all, but if it was all done in good taste, then there shouldn't be any issues. Then again, if it was a catholic, private college, the rules may not be the same as for a state university.

Ya its a Catholic private college and administered by priests.And You know Films which they show us everday are most related with these themes and even films in International filmfest also have the same taste and when students go for a same attempt , they are discouraging.
