GORE WINS LEGAL BATTLE TO SHOW FILM IN U.K. SCHOOLS
Former U.S. Vice President AL GORE’s global warming documentary AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH has been given the green light to be shown in British schools following a high court battle.
Concerned parent Stewart Brown lobbied to ban the film from U.K. schools, claiming it was biased politically.
In court, he told High Court Judge Michael Burton, "I want my children to have the best education possible, free from bias and political spin, and Mr.
Gore’s film falls far short of the standard." But Judge Burton ruled that An Inconvenient Truth should be shown in schools - as long as teachers provided a balance to the film’s political undertones.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s government has sent copies of Gore’s hard-hitting climate control film to 3,500 British schools with a view to educating teenagers about the perils of global warming.
