50,000 free copies of Al Gore's climate change film, An Inconvenient Truth, have been rejected by the American National Science Teachers Association because the gift might be seen as a 'political endorsement' - they went on to note that accepting the DVDs might place 'unnecessary risk' on their fundraising campaigns - especially with regard to 'certain targeted supporters'.
ExxonMobil Corp, Shell Oil and major motor companies are just some of the supporters of the Association.
Meanwhile The Space in Stroud are showing the film this Saturday at 8.00pm. As noted before I am also happy to lend DVD to those in my ward - a week's waiting list at the moment.
