My son, who went to an all boys HS, had to watch the Al Gore movie. He asked the teacher to show a movie about the other view point and the teacher said no.

Gore's lies get plenty of play in the government schools. I teach an online Oceanography course for high school students. The kids always start out spouting Gore-isms, because they assume that is what I want to hear. Once they understand that we are actually going to study facts, they are actually relieved. So far I haven't had one of them fight me when I explain to them the errors in An Inconvenient Truth. They have been quite literally brainwashed by their undereducated "science" teachers, who actually think Algore is a credible scientific source.

So pleased to see posts from other teachers who actually teach facts and help students to research and think before they decide! :)
