Vice Principals

High schoolers engage in a two-against-one fistfight; men flip each other the bird and scuffle; a student punches a teacher in the face and the teacher pushes the students; an administrator threatens to hit students with a wooden paddle and to slap them; men threaten each other with violence, including gun violence.

An administrator tells a student that he'll be anally raped at a new school.

Very frequent cursing: "I don't give a damn," "ass," "go to hell," "f--k off." Curses used as an insult: "f--khead," "elitist a--holes," "f--king c--ksucker." An administrator calls a high school student a "son of a bitch" and threatens to bounce him the "f--k out" of school. Sexist language: A man tells a teenager he punches "like a woman." Classist language: An administrator calls cafeteria and maintenance workers "lower class." Racist language: A white man says an African-American woman has a "big ol' butt."

Parents need to know that Vice Principals is a very dark comedy about staff politics at a high school. Two white men team up to overthrow an African-American woman, which adds the potential for racism and sexism to come into play. Violence, including scuffles between students and adults, is generally cartoonish but occasionally gets more uncomfortable, as when an administrator clearly enjoys threatening students with a spanking using a wooden paddle. Women are called "bitch" by women and men alike; cafeteria and maintenance workers at the school are called "lower class"; a man tells a boy he punches "like a woman." Cursing includes "ass," "hell," "damn," "f--k," and many permutations of these words in tense situations and includes insults ("f--khead," "c--ksucker"). An adult threatens a student, saying he'll experience rape at a new school.
