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 See less
