Oher’s School Didn’t Want to be Featured
Briarcrest Christian School where the real-life Oher attended classes after being adopted by the Tuohy family, had concerns about being portrayed in “The Blind Side.” They felt that the film could ruin their reputation with future students and shed the school in a negative light. In fact, Briarcrest Christian School officials were upset that the film showed Oher’s teachers dismissing Oher’s academic capabilities.
