Too "Inconvenient" for Federal Way

The Federal Way School district has effectively banned showings of former Vice President Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.

According to the Seattle Times story, parents objected to the free screenings offered to school for "political or religious reasons", and using the same tactics to disrupt teaching the Theory of Evolution, bullied the School Board to suspend the use of a valuable teaching tool. The Board's action abuses District policy which allows parents to pull their children out of school activities they find "objectionable". There is nothing objectionable about Gore's engaging explanation of widely accepted scientific facts, and unless Seattle - area schools continue to be closed every other day because of the ongoing bizarre winter weather, the Faith-based Climatologists can't stop their kids from being exposed to those facts.

Conservative parents may freely claim that weather patterns are "natural", of course they are. The real question is: why have those weather patterns accelerated? Is it that Soviet satellite the media thought was screwing with the weather back in the 1970's still up there? Is God angry that Washington elected too many Democrats and helped lame-duck the Bush Presidency? I could go on, but then I would have to submit overwhelming research proving that Science has absolutely nothing to do with Religion or Politics.
