Plain and Simple if you show them this movie, then explain both sides of the argument.

Funny how folks on the left want this to be shown in schools but if there is anything from the right, from recruiters to a prayer group meeting it is open season to ban.....freedom of speech is more free indoctrination of a political view.
I would only allow it if there is a companion piece to counter the debate claims.

It would be nice if Al Gore would answer the question as to why Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, etc. are getting warmer as well. What is mankind doing to those planets?
If the movie was part of a series of presentations that presents other points of view, I don't mind. But if they are trying to shove his pseudo-science down the students' throats without any counter-point, count me out.

Well if they are showing something that shows the other side of the issue and allow a debate I don't see a problem. It is when they show this onesided view and expect everyone to agree with it and not allow any room for discussion that I have a problem

High school students; yes.
But the movie makers should make the screening free.

If it was shown either in a fictional literature class or in a science class, as and example of junk-science, then it would be okay.

I believe in Al Gore and his movie. But I think it should not be forced on everyone...It wouldn't do any good to force anyone to see it....but, just like the religious right's assertion that religion should be available to school kids, I think that if a group of kids wanted to air it and allow anyone to sit in and watch it...more than OK

Shouldn't be able to show propaganda. Way to much of the information has not been proven true.
