Last I heard (this morning's news), it looks like the Federal Way school board is backing down from the religious pressure and will allow the film to be shown after all. But the battle is still going on.

An interesting side note is that, in the Federal Way area, all the movie rental places are out of copies of "An Inconvienient Truth" because a lot of parents are renting it and showing it to their kids at home. One father said that after watching the movie, his daughter (eighth-grade) dashed around the house turning off all the lights that weren't being used and said that she wants to enter politics so she can do something about environmental pollution and global warming. She's motivated! Surprised the hell out of her father!

In any case, it would appear that Frosty E. Hardiman's crusade to stop the showing of "An Inconvenient Truth" in the Federal Way schools may have backfired on him. It's stirred up a lot of interest and people want to see the movie so they know what all the fuss is about.

Ya know what, Frosty? The Lord works in mysterious ways!
