A United Kingdom court has ruled that frequent private-jet flyer and global-warming activist Al Gore's Oscar-winning film, "An Inconvenient Truth," must bear a warning message when it is shown in UK schools:
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'.
Is it excusable to stretch facts and use biased data if it raises awareness about an important issue?
