Disney’s film “Ruby Bridges” has been cleared by North Shore Elementary School officials after a parent recently filed an objection saying the movie wasn’t suitable for younger students to watch.
On Monday, seven members of the school-based instructional and media review committee voted unanimously to allow teachers to continue showing the movie to students. The committee was made up of parents, community members and school district staff.
Although the film is rated PG, parents will still need to fill out a permission slip before their child views the movie.

During the committee meeting, there was no public comment, but around 30 parents and community members showed up in support of showing the film.
