| '''Artist:''' Al Gore (b. 1948)
| |
| | |
| '''Confronting Bodies:''' Federal Way School Board
| |
| | |
| '''Dates of Action:''' Thursday, January 11, 2007
| |
| | |
| '''Location:''' Federal Way, Washington, United States of America
| |
| | |
| '''Description of Artwork:''' Movie/documentary <P>
| |
| | |
| '''The Incident:''' "After a parent who supports the teaching of creationism and opposes sex education complained about the film, the Federal Way School Board on Tuesday placed what it labeled a moratorium on showing the film. The movie consists largely of a computer presentation by former Vice President Al Gore recounting scientists' findings." <P>
| |
| The Board determined that "Al Gore's documentary about global warming may not be shown unless the teacher also presents an opposing view." <P>
| |
| "Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He's not a schoolteacher," said Frosty Hardison, a parent of seven who also said that he believes the Earth is 14,000 years old. "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." <P>
| |
| | |
| '''Results of Incident:''' The movie may not be shown unless the teacher presents an "opposing view." <P>

| |
| <p>Censorpedia is a crowdsourced online database of censorship cases within the arts and in culture. It is aimed at those researching censorship, at activists working for freedom of expression and at artists and other cultural producers whose expression has been subject to censorship or attempted censorship.</p>
| |
| <p>Censorpedia documents censorship incidents by providing the who, what, when, where and why. By providing a repository of information about what is vulnerable to censorship and about the strategies and tactics that have defeated previous’ censorship attempts, Censorpedia aids the fight for free expression.</p>
| |
| <p>Researchers can search for a specific case, year or keyword using the search box, as well as browse by [[:Category:Medium|'''medium''']], by [[:Category:Subject|'''grounds for censorship''']], or explore a [[Special:Randompage|'''random case''']].</p>
| |
| <p>Activists can search for [[:Category:Ongoing_Case|'''ongoing cases''']] or [[Form:Censorship_incident|'''contribute a case''']] that is ongoing or recently resolved.</p>
| |
| <p>Artists and cultural producers are similarly invited to [[Form:Censorship_incident|'''add cases''']] they are directly involved with or are familiar with first hand.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>Censorpedia builds on the landmark 1994 art project [http://anthology.rhizome.org/the-file-room '''The File Room'''], initiated by Muntadas.</p>
