I’m a senior in highschool. In all four years of my highschool science career the teacher made us watch an inconvient truth. Usually it was when we had substitute teachers but when i was in earth science we watched it right before starting the climate unit.
It sounds as if “An Inconvenient Truth” is rapidly become the modern-day equivalent of “Reefer Madness”: a movie that was made with the intention of scaring kids into being good but is so hackneyed it eventually becomes a parody of itself.

Indoctrination fails when the material used is so far from sensible that nobody can possibly believe it.
Although Barnum was right, that there is “one born every minute” and all, Lincoln was also right, that “You can’t fool all the people all the time.”

That’s a good thing. The more you see it the more flaws you can find.

I’d call it cruel and unusual or a damn good sleep aid.
