A Washington State school board has imposed restrictions on showing the movie An Inconvenient Truth in science classrooms, unless a creditable opposing viewpoint is also aired.  Good luck finding one of those.  Here’s the thought process that ruled the day:

The school board imposed the restrictions on viewing the film after Frosty Hardison, a parent who said that he believes the Earth is 14,000 years old, sent an e-mail to the school board complaining about the film. “Condoms don’t belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He’s not a schoolteacher,” Hardison said. “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.”

“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,” Hardison’s wife, 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.”
