NEW FOREST, England, April 17 (UPI) -- Al Gore's Oscar-winning global warming film, "An Inconvenient Truth," certainly hasn't been banned in Boston, but it is being panned in Britain.
A group of parents in New Forest said the government's decision to send the former U.S. vice president's documentary to every secondary school in the nation is nothing more than political indoctrination, The Independent reported Tuesday.
"The film goes well beyond the consensus view and is not therefore suitable material to present to children who need to be given clear and balanced, factually accurate information," said Derek Tipp, a spokesman for the parents who are considering legal action under the 2002 Education Act.
British Education Secretary Alan Johnson has said he wants teachers to use the award-winning documentary to prompt students into discussing climate change and global warming.
