The Government has offered to re-write the guidance for schools showing pupils Al Gore's climate-change documentary An Inconvenient Truth.
The move is a dramatic response to a High Court action brought by father-of-two Stewart Dimmock, a Kent school governor and a member of political group the New Party.

Mr Dimmock says the former US vice-president's Oscar-winning film is unfit for schools because it is politically partisan and contains serious scientific inaccuracies, as well as "sentimental mush".

His lawyers have accused the Government and New Labour 'Thought Police' of backing the film as a way of 'brainwashing' pupils on global warming.
John Day, of Malletts Solicitors, today described the offer to re-write the guidance as 'a U-turn', but said it did not go far enough.
He said 'no amount of turgid guidance' could change the fact that the film was unfit for consumption in the classroom.

High Court judge Mr Justice Burton, who conducted a three-day hearing, has yet to give a final decision on whether or not the film should be banned totally from the classroom.
