Is it legal to show an R-rated movie in an after school high school club without permission? - youngest lola

Ok, my foreign language club after school, "Run Lola Run" in German, with English subtitles. Later I learned that it was rated R in America, where we live. The age of the people in the room was 13 to 16 or 17 The only reason I ask is when I was younger, a teacher of middle school wanted to show a PG-13 for educational purposes, and had to send the authorization is declined, Fast Foward, and in some locations.
