Default RI Students Must Watch 'Inconvenient Truth' to Graduate

RI Students Must Watch 'Inconvenient Truth' to Graduate

(CNSNews.com) - To receive a degree from Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, students are being forced to watch "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary on global warming produced by former Vice President Al Gore.

The science class requirement has prompted one conservative student to declare that "we should stop calling these schools 'bastions of knowledge' since they're really bastions of leftist thought."

The controversy at Roger Williams University (RWU) in Bristol, R.I., began the week before Earth Day, when the professors teaching the laboratory portion of "Core 101: Science, Technology and Society" required their students to watch Gore's Oscar-winning film in class.

The course is one of 12 that students at the university must take in order to graduate.

And the INDOCTRINATION of America's young continues. By hook, or by crook, Liberals are pushing their agenda on America. The 'powers that be" are letting it happen. America is systematically being dismantled & destroyed...just to suit a few Elitists.
