The Dems are blocking Scholistic Inc from targeting children with the ABC 911 Docudrama.

The Raw Story | Congressional Democrats call on Scholastic to keep ABC's 9/11 docudrama 'out of schools' Congressional Democrats will be holding a press conference late Thursday afternoon which will call on Scholastic to keep ABC's docudrama The Path to 9/11 "out of schools," RAW STORY has learned. "Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (D-NY-28), Ranking Member of the House Rules Committee, will today be joined by Rep. Bill Pascrell (NJ-8), a member of the Homeland Security Committee and a former high school teacher, to call for Scholastic Inc. and ABC to keep the upcoming, and already challenged, docudrama The Path to 9-11 out of America's classrooms," said a press release sent out by Rep. Slaughter's office. "Scholastic is currently planning on shopping the docudrama to as many as 100,000 teachers, and has already produced lesson plans containing questionable information and analysis," the press release continued. The press conference is scheduled for 4:15 PM today, and will take place on the terrace of the Cannon House Office Building. "ABC has a responsibility to make clear that this film is not a documentary, and does not represent an official account of the facts surrounding the September 11th attacks," Congresswoman Slaughter said in a statement released on Tuesday. The watchdog website Media Matters contains links to the "teaching materials" that schools will be provided with. "By pushing material with misleading information to students of all ages, More....

I heard Scholastic bailed on the project, it won't be released in classrooms.
that probably was the MOST aggregious element of a phoney documentary.
Adults can look at this crud and MOST of them know what is true in the 9/11 report and what is made-up Disney ABC propoganda, having children sold this heap of horse-sh*t was taking it to the point when censoring this lousey little film became necessary.

I bet this is all a ploy to steal viewers away from the NFL

Edit to add:
Free advertising by the ton.
But it could bite them in the ass. Disney is jeorpardizing their license:

AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth Thursday, September 07, 2006 Senate Democratic leadership threatens Disney with legal and legislative sanctions by John in DC - 9/07/2006 06:02:00 PM This letter was sent today by the entire Democratic leadership of the US Senate. This letter is such a major shot across the bow of Disney, it's not even funny. It is FILLED with veiled threats, both legal and legislative, against Disney. US Senators don't make threats like this, especially the entire Democratic leadership en masse, unless they mean it. Disney is in serious trouble. Read it, then read my analysis of it below: September 7, 2006 Mr. Robert A. Iger President and CEO The Walt Disney Company 500 South Buena Vista Street Burbank CA 91521 Dear Mr. Iger, We write with serious concerns about the planned upcoming broadcast of The Path to 9/11 mini-series on September 10 and 11. Countless reports from experts on 9/11 who have viewed the program indicate numerous and serious inaccuracies that will undoubtedly serve to misinform the American people about the tragic events surrounding the terrible attacks of that day. Furthermore, the manner in which this program has been developed, funded, and advertised suggests a partisan bent unbecoming of a major company like Disney and a major and well respected news organization like ABC. We therefore urge you to cancel this broadcast to cease Disney’s plans to use it as a teaching tool in schools across America through Scholastic. Presenting such deeply flawed and factually inaccurate misinformation to the American public and to children would be a gross miscarriage of your corporate and civic responsibility to the law, to your shareholders, and to the nation. The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more apparent than in the duty of broadcasters to serve the civic needs of a democracy by promoting an open and accurate discussion of political ideas and events. ...... - - - - - - - <snip> - - - - - - - - Sincerely, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid Assistant Democratic Leader Dick Durbin Senator Debbie Stabenow Senator Charles Schumer Senator Byron Dorgan More....

ABC was also responsible for the 20/20 revisionist history concerning Matthew Shepard,
they must have several Christian Reich Bush propaganda folks in the highest levels.
