Federal Way schools restrict Gore film

“Condoms don’t belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He’s not a schoolteacher,” said Frosty Hardison, a parent of seven who also said that he believes the Earth is 14,000 years old. “The information that’s being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is. … The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn’t in the DVD.”

You know, I rarely say this, but: what a dick.

This guy, Frosty Hardison, is the reason that no action is being taken on global warming. He objected to Al Gore’s film being shown because part of the message is that America is largely responsible for the global crisis.

As for him saying he deosn’t want sex education in schools: does he understand why we had a baby boom in the ’60s? It wasn’t that people were having more sex (in fact the birth rate should have dropped since contraception was more widely available). It was because people in the ’40s were never told how to have sex. Married couples went literally years before consumating their marriages!

There is hope though, one senior at the school is reported as saying that although she hasn’t seen Al Gore’s film, she wants to, since it explains how humans are affecting the planet, and what we can do to avert the crisis.

“Watching a movie doesn’t mean that you have to believe everything you see in it,” she said.

However, I read a brilliant joke in New Scientist magazine a few weeks ago. It was about how creationism has become intelligent design, which is now sponsoring science to gain acceptance as a ‘real science’. The quote was:

“It is ironic that a belief that Darwinian evolution is wrong, is itself forced to continually evolve in an attempt to gain popular support.”

Priceless…
