Here’s a big story about Al Gore’s eco-hysteria piece, An Inconvenient Truth. Turns out the courts in the UK consider it to be less than truthful. The website for the British New Party illuminates 11 points made in the film which a representative for the film had to acknowledge were either completely false or inconclusive. Teachers in UK schools must now warn their students of these inaccuracies or they may be found guilty of “political indoctrination” under the Education Act of 1996. I’m thinking the effect will be that teachers simply won’t bother to show the film. It’s just too much hassle. ’bout time the tables were turned, says I.
Check out the story here.
So, why can’t we pass a law prohibiting political indoctrination in schools here in the US? The Brits are ahead of us on that count.
