The superintendent of a Montana school district has confirmed that the Oscar-winning producer of “Schindler’s List” was barred from speaking to a graduating high school class because of his conservative political beliefs.
Gerald Molen — a retired Marine who also produced “Jurassic Park” and “Twister” — told the Hollywood Reporter earlier this week that Tom Stack, principal of Ronan High School, disinvited him from speaking to graduating seniors specifically because he was a “right-wing conservative.”
On Friday, Ronan School District Superintendent Andy Holmund confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter the incident “did, in fact, occur.”
