Hmm. Okay, checked some more, this from the CBC:

U.K. Environment Minister David Miliband said An Inconvenient Truth would be sent to every school as part of an educational pack about climate change aimed at British teens.

And this from The Ridgefield Press, Ridgefield, Connecticut:

---

Some voices of protest are challenging the use of An Inconvenient Truth, former Vice President Al Gores movie on global warming, as part of an interdisciplinary project assigned to freshmen at Ridgefield High School.
In a telephone call to The Press, longtime Ridgefielder Dorothy Williams said freshmen had been sequestered in the auditorium and shown Gores film with no alternative.
Ms. Williams said shed heard school staff were not receptive to students who questioned or were critical of the movie.
When the kids challenged it, they were ignored, Ms. Williams said.
...
In a letter being forwarded around, Alex Karsanidi made similar points.
It was brought to my attention that the administration and science department at the Ridgefield High School took it upon itself to hold a mandatory attendance viewing this past Wednesday by the entire freshman class of the Al Gore fictional documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth, he wrote.
In addition, Im told during the question and answer period that followed, students who asked or wanted to ask questions obviously anti the film did not receive a warm reception.
...
High School Principal Jeff Jaslow confirmed that Mr. Gores movie had been shown to freshmen, but he disputed the notion that students werent allowed to challenge its viewpoint.
It was established as an interdisciplinary activity, so there were some classroom activities as a follow-up, Mr. Jaslow said.
Some students, for instance, were asked to do some research on their own families energy use in their homes.
The program took place during the CAP testing Connecticut Academic Performance Tests, required of all sophomores and some upperclassmen who havent passed them yet.
During the morning when the sophomores were being tested, the freshmen viewed the movie, Mr. Jaslow said.
Immediately following the movie there was a panel discussion led by science teachers at which alternative and opposing viewpoints and perspectives were presented and entertained, Mr. Jaslow said.
