judge on Wednesday ruled that Al Gore's award winning climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" should only be shown in schools with guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination.
High Court judge Michael Burton's decision follows legal action brought by a father of two last month claiming the former US vice-president's film contained "serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush".
Judge Burton said the Oscar-winning film should be accompanied by government guidance notes and to distribute it without them would breach education laws prohibiting the promotion of unbalanced political viewpoints.
But the victory was only partial, as Dimmock failed to get the film totally banned from schools.
The lorry driver said after the case that he was "elated", but disappointed he had not secured an outright ban.
"If it was not for the case brought by myself, our young people would still be being indoctrinated with this political spin," he told reporters.

Oops, never mind. That would add to global warming! Just use a shredder. :-)

Surgeon General’s Warning:
Prolonged exposure will cause short-term memory loss, stomach cramping, and potentially permanent dementia. Use at your own risk.

I’m guessing the UK, since that’s been in the news a few days ago.
Warning: Algore’s movie can cause eye twitches, stomach lurches, oily rectal discharges, premature birth, premature vomiting, premature death, suicide, eye blisters and gas. Tipper will confirm all of these possibilities when she gets out of the toilet.
and he's fooling himself if he thinks his child(ren) are not being indoctrinated without the film... heck, kids spend 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 40 weeks a year, in a 13-year span in a liberal-infested cesspool... requiring guide notes to go along with this movie is not even a drop in the bucket...
There is a joke behind this...right?
“Time to celebrate this victory!”
AGREED!
Facts and reason triumphant in this climate hype madness.
It is ONLY the beginning.
For your “global warming” PING list.
The story is slowly working its way up the media ladder. Rush just had it on at the bottom of the hour.

new headline: “Judge Rules Albore Film Must Be Accompanied By Barf Bags, Hysterical Laughter Soundtrack, and Guidance Notes”
there, fixed it!!
I knew it..I knew there was a joke here somewhere.
I don’t understand...didn’t it win an Oscar? Who are these critics? Is my Gulfstream ready....
To be fair, the judge only watched five minutes of it.
We could use a decision like that here in the U.S. ...Half a loaf is better than none.
Yes. Gore’s propaganda piece should be banned from schools.
