Permission Slip Needed For Movie Not For Abortion
Our documentary Not Evil Just Wrong is on tour in Alaska. The film asks if Global Warming science is really settled but perhaps more importantly focuses on the damage that proposed “solutions” will have on the poorest people on the planet.
However it seems that the school authorities were not so keen on the alternative.
In an unprecedented move they insisted that any student who wanted to see an excerpt of Not Evil Just Wrong must have a permission slip from their parents.
Perhaps even more significantly, Alaska is a state where the state can arrange an abortion for a student without notifying their parents. Regardless of your opinions on abortion (or the issue of parental notification) the Alaskan authorities seem intent on sending out a clear message.
...If you want to have an abortion parents don’t need to know and we can probably fit it in after gym class.(h/t)
I saw this story and was once again stunned by the total absence of common sense! Can we take a step back and think about what we as a nation are doing? There is a reason children need parents. Seriously, some of these kids can't even legally drive but they can get abortions without there parents even knowing about it. It's ludicrous.
Come on people! Parental notification and parental consent just make sense.
