Federal Way School District: Al Gore, Sex Ed Banned
Jan 11th, 2025 by Jessica Gold Haralson
For the Federal Way School Board, Al Gore’s global warming docudrama and a decent sexual education program are both “inconvenient truths”.
After a creationist parent complained about a screening of the global warming documentary, the school board motioned to place a moratorium on any further showings of the film. While it’s unclear if sex ed is also on the board’s black list, the parent displayed some interesting cognitive gymnastics in linking comprehensive sex ed with An Inconvenient Truth:
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.”
