An article in the National Post (Canada) discusses how frequently students are shown the film "An Inconvenient Truth" in school. If this were presented as a lesson in critical thinking - watch the movie, research what is right and what is misleading in it - I would be all for students seeing it. If there is no research or discussion, or the discussion is one-sided, they might as well show another movie that the kids would enjoy for its entertainment value only.
