“Condoms don’t belong in school, and neither does Al Gore.”
As promised from my last post, here’s the Daily Show’s coverage of the story about Seattle requiring any showing of “An Inconvenient Truth” to be paired with an opposing view. An opposing view such as Frosty Hardison’s:
“The information that’s being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is. … The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn’t in the DVD.”
For more on the story, see the Seattle PI story here.
Hardison and his wife, Gayla, said they would prefer that the movie not be shown at all in schools.
“From what I’ve seen (of the movie) and what my husband has expressed to me, if (the movie) is going to take the approach of ‘bad America, bad America,’ I don’t think it should be shown at all,” Gayle Hardison said. “If you’re going to come in and just say America is creating the rotten ruin of the world, I don’t think the video should be shown.”
People sure are smart!
That quote from his wife makes me really sad.
not to play the contrarian, but i’m pretty sure there’s about a million better documentaries on global warming kids could be seeing.
Simon,
While I agree with you, I think that your observation misses the point. Contrarian.
