St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Austin returns $3 million pledge rather accede to the donor's request to censor Annie Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain". [BugMeNot has a login if you need it.]

"St. Andrew's has a policy not to accept conditional gifts, whether it's $5 or $500,000. When the McNair family looked at their gift in a conditional manner, then the school could not accept it," said Bill Miller, who was asked by St. Andrew's to serve as its spokesman for this story.

(On a far less potentially noble note, I gotta say that any movie that involves me getting to watch Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger make out has already got my $9.25. Heh.)

Heath almost broke Jake's nose, you know.

I do seem to recall reading that someplace.

Is it December yet? ;)

Have to admire the school for sticking to its principles, especially in a red state...

Didn't realize that was out!

It's not yet, I don't think; last I knew it was going to be released sometime in December. Just pointing out that it's a given that I'm going to be seeing it. ;)
