The chick who played Heath Ledger’s beard while whipping out her cans in Brokeback Mountain got dissed by her Christian grade school.

Michelle Williams is nominated for an Oscar, but that’s not good enough for the dicks at Santa Fe Christian. The school has chosen to throw away a chance to support a hugely successful former student, because headmaster Jim Hopson is worried it would somehow imply that being gay isn’t the worst sin of all time.

Side note: Is it just me or do you find it ironic that Hopson’s title is “headmaster?” Heheheh…

From United Press International:

Williams, 25, attended Santa Fe Christian in Solana Beach, Calif., which rejected the San Diego Union-Tribune’s efforts to visit the school for a story about the actress’ roots.

“We don’t want to have anything to do with her in relation to that movie,” headmaster Jim Hopson told the newspaper.

“Michelle doesn’t represent the values of this institution. We would not approve of her movies and TV shows (including the teen drama “Dawson’s Creek”). We’d not like to be tied to ‘Brokeback Mountain,’” he said.

“I hope we offered her something in life. But she made the kinds of choices of which we wouldn’t approve,” he continued. “‘Brokeback Mountain’ basically promotes a lifestyle we don’t promote. It’s not the word of God.”
