Dumber Than a Sixth Grader
Posted by Dave Blount at March 24, 2007 12:08 PM
Al Gore is not advised to try his luck on the new Fox show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? He doesn't seem to be nearly as smart as the 6th graders at Trail Ridge Middle School in Longmont, Colorado, who put global warming on trial and found it guilty of fraud.
Instead of presenting the kids with Gore's surreal horror film An Inconvenient Truth as if it were factual, paleontology teacher Ken Poppe allowed students to present both sides of the debate while acting as prosecution and defense. By a vote of 7 to 4 the jury confirmed that global warming is part of a natural cycle that is not caused by human activity.
Unfortunately Prince Albert wasn't in attendance. He might have learned something.
On a tip from V the K.
