''' | '''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> | ||
