Civil Rights professor shows “Remember the Titans” for the fifth time this semester

CAMPUS—Students in Sean McConnley’s HIS 356P, “The US during the Civil Rights Era,” class were disappointed on Tuesday when they came to lecture only to discover that McConnley planned to show them “Remember the Titans” for the fifth time this semester. “I was pretty stoked when I saw that he was going to play this movie the first time,” said student Rick Baran-Chong. “But then once it ended, he just went to the DVD menu and started it over from the beginning, without giving any explanation.” Students in McConnley’s class felt that, despite being a culturally relevant and entertaining film, they got the point after the second viewing. “Ironically enough, watching this movie repeatedly has made me begin to regret that the Civil Rights Movement took place at all” said John Larigakis, a student in the class. “Because if it hadn’t this movie would not have been made”.
