Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth unfit for schools

[Mr-Bridger]

Schools will have to issue a warning before they show pupils Al Gore's controversial film about global warming, a judge indicated yesterday.

The move follows a High Court action by a father who accused the Government of 'brainwashing' children with propaganda by showing it in the classroom.

Stewart Dimmock said the former U.S. Vice-President's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, is unfit for schools because it is politically biased and contains serious scientific inaccuracies and 'sentimental mush'.

He wants the video banned after it was distributed with four other short films to 3,500 schools in February.

Mr Justice Burton is due to deliver a ruling on the case next week, but yesterday he said he would be saying that Gore's Oscar-winning film does promote 'partisan political views'.

This means that teachers will have to warn pupils that there are other opinions on global warming and they should not necessarily accept the views of the film.

CNN weatherman considers Gore's An Inconvenient Truth fiction

CNN reported on Thursday that a British judge has called Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth unfit for schools "because it is politically biased and contains scientific inaccuracies and sentimental mush." British schools may now have to preface any showing of the film with a warning.

CNN meteorologist Rob Marciano responded to this story by applauding and saying,"Finally, finally," before commenting sarcastically that "the Oscars, they give out awards for fictional films as well."

The judge could also have stated that in his opinion this film should not be shown to impressionable children!

Or if it were, additional material should also be screened showing the opposing points of view.

Pretty good news really. Won't matter to the religious wing of the environmental 'movement' though or to sordid characters like David Milliband.

I wonder how many moronic, right-on, uinfit teachers will simply disregard the ruling as 'Well even if there are some mistakes, we know it's still true, I don't see any harm in using less fosil fuels etc...'
