very strong performances from streep & hoff. viola almost stole the show tho... her few minutes on screen were both vital and moving.
my interpretation was that hoff didn't "touch" the black kid in any inappropriate way and was more of a friend to him. i do think the possibility of something inappropriate did go down with hoff and the blonde haired yt kid that gave himself the nose bleed and smiled/smirked when hoff told the church he was stepping down.
great flick tho.
