DEBATE BACKFIRE: GORE CAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL FIB; PRINCIPAL SAYS 'NEW LAB EQUIPMENT' CAUSED CLASS CRUNCH Vice President Al Gore was caught in a High School fib during Tuesday night's nationally televised presidential debate when he claimed a Florida public school was so overcrowded a student was forced to stand during science class! "They can't squeeze another desk in for her so she has to stand during class," Gore explained while telling the story of 15-year-old Kailey Ellis of Sarasota High. "I want the federal government, consistent with local control and new accountability, to make improvement of our schools the number one priority so Kailey will have a desk and can sit down in a classroom where she can learn." Sarasota High School principal Daniel Kennedy on Wednesday morning called Gore's debate story 'misleading at best'. "His facts are inacurate," Kennedy declared on WFLA 970 am in Tampa. "There was $100,000 worth of lab equipment waiting to be unpacked in the room, that's why the room was crowded. We have no students standing." drudgereport.com
