Yet another morning when I find myself gaping at my computer screen at something I've just read. This article on seattlepi.com showcases two parents who are about as dumb as they can possibly be. Their complaint over showing Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" revolves around two things: Al Gore doesn't present creationism, and the fact that "everything will burn up" in the "end times", anyway, and the film takes a "bad America, bad America" approach.
Ugnnnh. Snnnaerf. Gaaaah. I can't even respond to this kind of stupidity. I hate people. Hate them. What's even more disgusting? The Federal Way School district has actually acquiesced, and placed a moratorium on showing the film. They propose that teachers who want to show it should also showcase the opposing view, i.e. the Not Freaking Science view.
Federal Way schools restrict Gore film
...politics, pop culture, and self-deprecation...
