![]() And the film gives you two hissable villains, town political boss Posner and his bullying cowardly son Bernard, always retreating to the safety of dad's shadow when his misdeeds get him in bad with Billy Jack. And in the middle of all of this is Billy Jack, a half native American ex special forces vet who protects the school - as best as one guy can - with physical force when he has to, and plus he really seems to enjoy it too. Now things were never great between the counterculture pacifist school and the traditional townspeople, but the story of the deputy's daughter brings things to a boil. ![]() ![]() And weirdly enough, deputy dad never recants this story, and seems to come to believe it himself. So the rest of the movie is based on the deputy's lie that his daughter ran away again, that she is pregnant, and that a boy at the Freedom School is the father. Billy Jack finds the girl and hides her at The Freedom School - a counterculture alternative school with mainly native students, but the school is open to any kid with problems. The deputy panics and dumps what may be her "body" for all he knows out in the wild. She tells him she is pregnant and she has been with so many guys she doesn't even know the father's race. It is a deputy in the town having his runaway teen daughter returned to him. The start of the film really has nothing to do with Billy Jack. and you have to love the anti-violence screeds followed by onscreen massacres.
