Is a stake beginning to be driven through the heart of the "Global Warming" hobgoblin?

Why ban a comedy that tries to pass itself off as a horror flick???

Al Gores film is like a combo of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ meets ‘The day after Tomorrow’.

“but I am also opposed to banning things.”

Perdogg, do you support our schools presenting fantasy as fact as well? perhaps they should teach that King Arthur was real and Merlin is still alive.

Opposed to banning stuff. Of course, I am too. But in an educational setting, only videos that advance learning a subject should be shown.

They can show it at the local theater all they want, just not in a education facility.

Al Gore should be made to pay back all the money he’s made from this HOAX, and give back all awards he’s received on it’s behalf, as well.

Nah, just want to be clear on him being against banning WHAT KINDS OF things.

Should we take little impressionable, immature kids and brainwash them? Like Kevin Jennings and Al Gore want to do?

or will parents stand up and fight to protect their kids from having the government molest thier childrens’ minds??

If we won’t fight for our kids, this country is doomed.

I bet most of the AGW “researchers” are heavily invested in the carbon trading scam too.

Global Warming/ Climate change should not be taught as they are total BS. However banning ideas (in the form of books and film) from school libraries is a bad step. Perdogg is correct and your response to him was asinine.

Better yet - Anyone invested in this scam, should pay the money towards our out of control deficit...so WE THE PEOPLE benefit most from it.

Please define ban. If students wanted to watch this after hours as part of a club, do you think the school should ban it?

I think it should be exposed and debated.

I thought it would make a good Mystery Science Theater feature.

If it weren’t for the liberal agenda, indoctrinating our children via the schools, I can see the point of banning these kinds of “films”.

You and I are not debating on the same page.

You’re talking about curriculum. I’m talking about library content and informational access.
