As a librarian keeping in mind that we are always about providing all sides
of an issue, I have serious concerns about "every student in every school in
the United States" seeing this movie if it is presented as the only side of
this issue. There is significant support for opposing viewpoints to Mr.
Gore's, not just from conservative politicians, but from scientists as well.
I would hope that the movie would be presented as what is . . . one
viewpoint.

Education is not a goal; it is a life-long process. Everyone is a student.
Everyone is a teacher.

For LM_Netters,
"Teaching our children about science a la Joe Camel"
AT HUNDREDS of screenings this year of "An Inconvenient Truth," the first
thing many
viewers said after the lights came up was that every student in every school
in the United States needed to see this movie.
