The Opposing View

FEDERAL WAY -The Olympian- [1] The school board in this suburb south of Seattle has restricted showings of Al Gore’s movie on global warming, including requiring that it be balanced with an adequate opposing viewpoint.

The board also required Superintendent Tom Murphy to approve when the former vice president’s film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” can be presented.

The decision was sparked by complaints from parents who said their child was taking the film as fact after viewing it at school.

“Condoms don’t belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He’s not a schoolteacher,” said Frosty Hardison, a parent of seven who doesn’t want the film shown at all.

And therein lies the crux of the matter: Parental choice. This propaganda flick put together by Gore and company has no relationship with fact whatsoever. And yet the school is teaching it as fact. Parental choice, in this case, should be the safety valve. But because it’s a government school, there is little in the way of choice.

 Which is of course why the left wants this film in schools… it is there they have a captive audience, of mush-minded early teens.  How better to propegate the liberal nonsense, than to teach it to kids when they’re young and impressionable?
