Local School Board Breathes Methane

--Cites John Stossel on global warming issue--

Yes, these asshats are refusing to allow Al Gore's film in class without "opposing" (read as totally uneducated) viewpoints.

Here's a blurb

The Federal Way School Board Tuesday night put the brakes on schools showing Al Gore’s global warming movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

The board required that an opposing view be presented in order for teachers to present the film. Board president Ed Barney said he’s received about a half-dozen complaints from parents that their child was taking the film as fact after viewing it at school.

“We have to ensure that our schools are not being used to politically indoctrinate anyone,” said board member Dave Larson. The board voted 3 to 0, with two members absent.

On edit: The methane breathing reference is in regards to my thinking they have their collective heads up their collective asses. Thus, they're not breathing oxygen anymore.

I'm resisting the urge to sign up or try to figure out my old sign-up info to respond, but this just ticks me off.

Citing a John Stossel article?

C'mon. What a fucking joke.
