Question: Should Schools Ban Al Gore’s Film?

Issue: Ban on global-warming film sparks heated debate: School board opts for 'balance' of viewpoints/Blaine Harden, Associated Press

More Info: The e-mail also pressured the school board to impose a ban on screenings of the film for the district's 22,500 students. The ban, which the school board says was merely a "moratorium," was lifted Tuesday night, subject to rigorous conditions. Still, the action has appalled the film's producers and triggered a ferocious national backlash.

Question: Would you be upset if your local school board banned the showing of Gore's film?
