Indoctrinating school children in this manner is unprecedented and unacceptable."

This word "indoctrinating" may be applicable in this case, but I think the court's decision is correct. You should stop the free flow of ideas, you should counteract them with real facts.

The school should have an obligation to present ALL the facts to the students, which should mean the students can see for themselves what a complete farce the movie really is.

The problem is that while the government schools "should" have an obligation to present all the facts they rarely if ever do.

should = shouldn't, I'm sure

I'd agree with you if I thought this is how the schools should be spending their time, i.e., the time of their students.

>>The school should have an obligation to present ALL the facts to the students,

Primary schools (K-12 in the U.S.) have no business spending any significant time at all on this issue, when the students don’t know basic H.S.-level biology, chemistry, and physics.

I think the argument the gentleman is using is that they are presenting this film as factual. This is wrong. To show it is not wrong, but to present it as scientific fact is definitely wrong and is, in fact, indoctrination since it seeks to impress false doctrine upon impressionable minds.
