Scotland Says All Its Schools Will Get Free Copies of Gore's "Inconvenient Truth," Days After U.S. City Bans It


Every school in Scotland will soon own two copies each of Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth on DVD. Teachers will not be forced to show the film, but the Scottish government expressed optimism that all students will have the opportunity to view it.

The decision came just days after a Washington State school board issued a moratorium on the movie after complaints from parents like Frosty E. Hardison, who "believes the Bible predicted global warming."

Interestingly, the Scottish plan is sponsored by a power company who runs a coal-fired plant but is investing heavily in alternative energy, including a wind power scheme.

Of course, science has not been much of a concern for the Bush Administration. When asked if he would watch Gore's documentary, Bush replied simply, "doubt it." BuzzFlash has reported on his Administration's push to close the EPA's network of research libraries, and they are allowing the sale of a book at the Grand Canyon National Park purporting the creationist view that the canyon is less than six thousand years old. Geologists agree it is actually about five to six million years old.

Perhaps I'll just make it an extended stay.

2. Too bad this country on the whole can't see the urgency of this crisis

The movie is also going to be shown in all of Scotland's secondary schools. As usual, we are left behind regarding the issues that really matter when it comes to taking definitive action. Oh, and kicked and recommended because this is more important than political speculation that always gets more recommends. Our children are having a great disservice done to them by not URGENTLY bringing this information to them. Thank God Mr. Gore and others including myself do give a damn.
