A professor at my alma mater was told he could not show a documentary from 2003 in class

This was about three years ago at the state university in my city. He wanted to use it for a history course on media, but the department head said it presented a 'one-sided view' and was not allowed. The film was about news coverage of a war, and they said it might upset some students. He had to use a different, much shorter video that the school approved instead. Has anyone else seen a teacher get blocked from using old teaching materials like that?
