Bull. Schools do it all the time. Heck, you've just finished arguing that it's okay for a public insitiution to promote what ever position they like, even if the evidence to support it is non-existent.

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.

Yet you think religious indoctrination is a good thing. Which is more dangerous again? Exposing children to something that has tangible evidence to support it, or exposing children to a fanciful story that has no evidence to support it?
