Hammering K-12 school children nonstop about the dangers of climate change in every class, even math, art and gym, is child abuse.
Barely one-third of fourth graders can read or do math at grade level, according to the latest national scores, but climate activists are demanding kids hear about global warming in every class. New Jersey mandates it, and now Connecticut is following suit as the school year opens. In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams is requiring every public school participate in Climate Action Day.
The climate push is nakedly political, spearheaded in New Jersey by the governor’s wife, first lady Tammy Murphy, a founding member of Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project. Lessons link urban heat islands to tree placement inequities, redlining and racism.
New York City holds out activist Greta Thunberg as a climate hero and role model, telling kids to “get involved in the global student climate action movement” and “get to know community leaders and register to vote.” Everything short of pre-enrolling kindergarteners in the Democratic Party. Parents should be outraged.
Climate change is the Left’s religion. The messaging is as heavy-handed as catechism in a religious school.
It’s also scary. Children are being told that global warming is killing their favorite animals. At Slackwood Elementary School in New Jersey, first graders are taught that transportation, heating, and raising livestock are “making Earth feel unwell.”
The reality is that these children are too young to comprehend the trade-offs of moving to zero carbon immediately. A first grader doesn’t know Mommy can’t afford an electric vehicle — average price $53,000.
Children should be taught about the wonders of nature, learning to identify mammals, reptiles, fish and birds, oceans, plants and deserts. They are too young to address the ethical and economic implications of eliminating fossil fuels.
First graders don’t understand the impact on their family’s budget when the Con Ed bill doubles to pay for the shift to wind and solar, which New Yorkers are warned will happen here.
The U.S. has already reduced emissions of the six most common pollutants by 78% since 1970, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. But try explaining that to a first grader who doesn’t know percentages and has no frame of reference for comparing the U.S. record with, say, the soaring pollution rates in China and India.
These issues are appropriate for high school students, and they should be presented as controversies — with all viewpoints included.
Climate education advocates say they’re just teaching “facts” everyone agrees on. Don’t buy it.
The scientific community is divided about the urgency of eliminating fossil fuels. A poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University of 400 geologists, climatologists, meteorologists and other scientists found that 41% do not believe global warming will cause “significant harm” during our lifetimes.
A majority of scientists also disagree with the claim kids hear from teachers that we’re facing a significant increase in severe weather like hurricanes and tornadoes.
Eliminating fossil fuels on the radical Left’s green timetable will clobber ordinary people: costing jobs, raising living costs and weakening America’s position in the world. Yet climate change educators oppose any discussion of the cost of getting to zero.
California, New York and Oregon are currently considering mimicking New Jersey’s “every class is a climate class” curriculum. But some states are resisting.
Texas state education authorities are urging districts to present the pros and cons of fossil fuels and avoid textbooks that present only one side. That’s smart, considering how many moms and dads there earn a living in carbon-related industries.
In Ohio, Republican state lawmakers want to require publicly funded colleges to present all viewpoints on climate change, “encourag(ing) students to reach their own conclusions,” and not to “inculcate any social, political, or religious point of view.”
Good luck enforcing that on college campuses. But it should be the rule in every public school.
Parents: Stand up to the indoctrinators. Ramming the same scary message into your child’s head over and over again in class after class is brainwashing.
We live in America, not China.
I am sure Hitler, Stalin Castro and Mao would approve of this kind of Brainwashing by Greenpeace and the NEA tyrants always want their loyal subjects as mindnubed as possible
Greta. STFU.
You are NOT a climatologist. They study century(s), (millenniums) of data.
Please explain the cause of the last ice-age to me.
(Sweden was buried under ice.)
When done, describe the prior, at least three other ice-ages
Tell me what high-plains US weather forecast is in two months.
Or the solar forecast…
Russia does give money to climate alarmist groups. See https://getinsight.pro/schools/russia_climate_alarmism.htm
A father created a web site of lessons for his children to combat wokeness. It has a large section devoted to combatting climate change propaganda. Short of home schooling or moving out of a state that scares kids with green alarmism those lessons may be the answer. The URL is https://getinsight.pro/default.html#IV_Climate_Change
In every aspect of life, the Democrats run over the innocence of children. They want to sexualize their same sex friendships – which are normal at early and all ages. They want to politicize their school learning with this climate change hogwash and radical gender and racial teachings. The Democrats/liberals see children as tools to be used to further their political ambitions, rather than as people who should be valued because they are people.
They also see children as the future. They wish to control the future by grooming the kids. Simple as that.
Dear Greta take good look at the Tribal Police in Nevada arresting members of your Climate Cult
So many noxious sects of the leftist cult to choose from: climate change, race baiting, identity ideology, baby killing,, eco-nazism, and a host of other normal-people-hating, freedom crushing, and genocidal beliefs—all rolled up under one umbrella.
Educating (aka brainwashing) a generation of environazi morons.
Take a look at that photo at the top of this story.
If you did not know who this person is, would you even want to be in the same room with her?
If you have children, would you want to see this hateful scornful look on any of their faces?
Can you discern any sign of intelligence here?
Nothing says “Support Communism” like a scowling, mentally ill child. But, she’s a rich and politically connected child with a stage mother, so she’ll probably end up in the diplomatic service.
All this left-wing frantic hysteria John Kerry “chicken little” environmental hysteria about “climate change” of alarm is absurd.
In addition, related to this is that the futurists who helped contribute to the making of 1973 movie entitled “Soylent Green” had made movie about that life on earth would be like in the far-distant year of 2022. For from the worldview from the timeframe 1973 , the year 2022 was ,very much , seen as distant future.
The point is environmental experts of 1973 who had a hand in the making of that movie had been proven completely wrong in everything they had predicted what life for people would be like because of environmental pollution in the year of 2023. In this year, 2023 this are still not even close to that that movie predicted
This should tell all thinking people something.
Go ahead a watch that movie , you might find it very amusing.
One early summer day I was watching on television an educated man and likewise a scholar who had written a book about environmental degradation concerns. His message was rather alarming and disturbing. This is because he had in his book, predicted, that in not more than forty years all life, including human life, will become uninhabitable on earth because of pollution.
That was an early summer day of the year 1967. So now in this current year of 2023, over fifty years and not forty his error of prediction is easily now seen to be in great error.
So modern history is repeating itself again, this that alarmist environmental scholar of the year of 1967 is now replaced by environmental experts on the subjects of “global warming” and “climate change.”
This should tell all thinking people something.
All this left-wing frantic “chicken little” hysteria about environmental “climate change” of alarm is absurd.
It might even be that the subject of “climate change” is a topic that is used by the Biden crew to distract the American people away for the harm done by President pretender Biden of the United States with his terribly flawed fool Socialist economic policies that are wrecking the US economy.
Joe Biden is a catastrophe and calamity for America, a disaster, and a tragedy for the American people.
President impostor Biden is not just a sinister feeble -minded idiot. Worse .yet, he’s a dangerous sinister feeble minded idiot.
All addictions such as to pleasure or political power lead to low information hypnotic states of being. We are all vulnerable and need to pray.
” america is not china ] ?? but it is a province of china just like australia is which is where i live . children cant read , write and do math to any degree of proficiency . politicians and educators have purposely devised it that way .
this video never gets old!
HOW DARE YOU
I think it was 1974 and the buzz was the global cooling that would kill us all by the year 2000. Iv’e got to say I don’t believe that is true. But on an entirely seperate note I found an interesting speculation from 1974 that a global drop of 11*F. Would stress food production to a tipping point, and a global rise of 35*F would do the same. 2023 and we’ve almost covered the statistical variance of ~2*F. Meaning that we can almost be assured that globally temps have remained static, statistically..
None of the food, water, or climate predictions from the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s came true. Over the next billion years, Sol’s output will increase by 10%, and it will start to swell, eventually engulfing Terra. Long term, global warming is a self fulfilling prophecy. Some global warming would be good, especially for food production.
We’re due for another ice age though, which would be a real climate disaster, and the current output and rate of increase of solar activity probably won’t stop it, even if mankind made a concerted effort to heat the planet. The idea that we can control the climate is the most hubristic and absurd yet. These people can’t even balance a budget, and they’re going to control the climate? Get real…
