Did anyone have a go at “October Sky” for pushing an “agenda”?

What was the agenda? I saw the movie once many years ago. I mainly remember it being about kids building rockets.
McDowell County is poorest part of WV with life outcomes and vital statistics worse than ghettoes.
That's the location. But what is the agenda?
The same one people are accusing HF of but with poor whites
HF?
Hidden Figures
i cannot tell you since i have neither seen the movie, nor was i monitoring Reddit comments in 1999.

but i assume that yes, at least a few had a "go" at it, based on statistical probability alone.

Well I saw it in grade school then and I don’t recall any of that
and i don't recall any two-sided debate on any social, political or economic issues in grade school either.

perhaps not everything that can be said about a subject is discussed in grade school?
