What is the worry? If it is so obvious, they will all make the right choice.

It's definetly not ok to only show one side of a contentious issue. I can't believe that the movie is even allowed to be shown in schools except as an example of a political movie.
Where did people get the ideas that documentaries are meant to promote unbiased, critical analyses of subject matter? Documentaries are meant to argue a specific viewpoint. It's like a video argumentative essay. Though some can merely explore an issue without coming to a point I suppose. Gore's film is not of that type.
The science behind it may have a lot of evidentiary support, but the movie is arguably persuasive in nature. Exposing younger children to that type of medium is dangerous if not handled properly.
