'''Artist:''' Al Gore (b. 1948)


[[File:SantasButt.jpg|right]]
'''Confronting Bodies:''' Federal Way School Board
'''Artist:''' Shelton Brothers Brewers/ Daniel Shelton, a specialty beer distributor


'''Confronting Bodies:''' Maine government officials
'''Dates of Action:''' Thursday, January 11, 2007


'''Date of Action:''' 2006
'''Location:''' Federal Way, Washington, United States of America


'''Location:''' Portland, Maine USA
'''Description of Artwork:''' Movie/documentary <P>


'''Description of Artwork:''' The label, intended to go on Shelton Brothers Brewers new beer they call "Santa’s Butt Winter Porter," features Santa’s fully-clothed derriere perched atop a barrel (or "butt") of beer.  In addition to "Santa’s Butt," at question were "Les Sans Culottes," featuring Delacroix’s classic painting ''Liberty Leading the People'', and "Rose de Gambrinus," featuring a watercolor painting of the king of Flanders sitting with a naked woman. <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>


'''The Incident:''' The State of Maine refused permission to sell the above described Shelton Brothers Brewers’ beers because the State deemed their labels “undignified or improper”. <P>
'''Results of Incident:''' The movie may not be shown unless the teacher presents an "opposing view." <P>

'''Results of Incident:''' On November 30, 2006, the Maine Civil Liberties Union Foundation (MCLU) filed a case against government censorship on behalf of Daniel Shelton.  With the help of MCLU, Shelton won the lawsuit; in a letter dated December 22, 2006, Maine’s Liqour Licensing Unit Inspector Supervisor Jeffrey Austin told Shelton Brothers Brewers that they could register the label for "Santa’s Butt Winter Porter." While Shelton did win his case, unfortunately the ruling did not come in time for the company to be able to get the label out onto the bottles for the 2006 Christmas season.  The MCLU has not stopped there; they intend to continue fighting the Maine Bureau of Liquor Enforcement ensuring that they stop censoring all labels.  <P>
