I think that the point here is that the film is simply not scientific at all and has been widely disputed by the scientific community.

Is the idea here that it's ok to have our kids watch a film that has false claims in it just because it makes us feel good?

It's funny how the same group that says you shouldn't teach creationism in school because it isn't scientific want to push Gore's movie even though it isn't scientific.

If the school said they wouldn't show a factual and accurate documentary on global warming because they were afraid of Exxon's response I might raise an eyebrow, but I don't think it is unreasonable for Exxon to have the opinion that millions of American youth (their future customers) should not be watching an inaccurate film about global warming in school.
