documentary an inconvenient truth banned in seattle school

From the January 26 issue of The Week:

A Seattle school district has temporarily banned schools from screening Al Gore’s global-warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The decision came after complaints from parent Frosty Hardison, an advocate of creationism and father of seven children.  “Condoms don’t belong in school and neither does Al Gore,” said Hardison.  “The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn’t in the DVD.”  School board officials say the ban will be lifted for any teacher who accompanies Gore’s film with another film representing an “opposing view.”

I didn’t care for An Inconvenient Truth, but c’mon already.
