New York, NY – Assemblyman Peter M. Rivera, a Bronx Democrat, said today he plans to introduce a bill that would make “An Inconvenient Truth,” the global warming documentary produced by Al Gore, mandatory viewing for all school age children.
“It should be common sense to include our children in the discussions on the important scientific data presented in this documentary,” the Assemblyman said in his press release. “We can not waste any more time in engaging everyone capable of helping to solve this planetary crisis.”

Left unclear is whether Kindergarteners are considered capable of helping solve this planetary crisis. The headline of the press release says the Assemblyman wants “all K-12 students” to see the movie, while the body of the release says the legislation will mandate that the documentary be shown to all students in grades 1 through 12.

Dear Mr. Rivera,
Why do we have to teach lies to the children? Algore didnt shoot the movie on a glacier or in middle of the Atlantic. That part was manure and if you beleive any of the manure that was spewing forth from that movie, you are full of manure too!
I have no problem with this aslong as the children are told that this is left wing liberal propaganda and Rush Limbaugh’s or Hannity’s shows are also shown to the children
