The mother of a senior at Barrington High School complained to the school board about a movie some students in a film class watched that portrays a sex toy.
School officials said they take the complaint seriously, but emphasized that students always have a choice about what to watch.
Heather Ewalt lodged her complaint in a voicemail that was played as part of public comment during the Barrington Area Unit District 220 board meeting held via Zoom on Tuesday night.
