Hi guys,
Recently started attending school again. Taking an English summer class, feel like I'm in a Chinese reeducation camp. Recent assignment reading "Nickel and Dimed" but hey it's an english class the teacher can make us read what she wants. But I found out we will be watching Bowling for Columbine on Thursday. Shot my teacher an email explaining my displeasure. Now I'm going to be presenting the opposing view before we watch the movie. Can you guys help me with key points I should hit in a short introduction?
Here's part of my teacher's response

Like any idea in the class, you can feel free to disagree or criticize it--as long as you can support and develop your argument with credible evidence (the links you've provided below are interesting, but they are slanted, too...). So, please feel free to criticize the film. In fact, since you have, would you mind presenting this point of view--watching out for logical fallacies-- to the class before we watch the movie?
