| '''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
| |
| | |
| '''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."
| |
| | |
| The Board determined that "Al Gore's documentary about global warming may not be shown unless the teacher also presents an opposing view."
| |
| | |
| "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."
| |
| | |
| '''Results of Incident:''' The movie may not be shown unless the teacher presents an "opposing view."
