What a bastard..
Teaching kids about saving the environment when they should be learning about the second amendment
Dirty air and Dirty water is the right of every Republican. Without those, can be truly be "free"?
Now you know why the federal government wants to pay teachers instead of it being a local issue. This is the reason. Having teachers no longer answerable to parents in those schools but to Washington DC is a dream of the left.
I used to stare out the classroom window imagining the MiGs straffing the football field just before the bright light went off! They told us that there was a map in the Kremlin with the Pittsburgh area covered by a bull's eye. "We will be the first to get hit because of our industry" the teachers reasoned with us.These kids are lucky!
When I was in school, the indoctrination was that Russia was going to attack at any time. We were terrorized by blasting air raid alarms and taught to cower under desks against the imminent catastrophe. It gave us the feeling that life had little hope since everything would be destroyed soon and we either dead or wishing we were.
Much later, we learned the Soviets didn't even have a delivery system!
So, if kids learn that poisoning the environment is a bad idea, even if it doesn't really result in the destruction of the planet, the good outweighs any harm (as if there were any!).
Environmental Indoctrination in Public Schools
June 11, 2012 by David L. Goetsch
Indoctrination is one of the favorite strategies of the left for the simple reason that it works. Give liberals the public schools, which America has done, and they will take our children, which they are doing. Liberals understand that the best way to grow the next crop of liberals, environmentalists, and secular humanists is to indoctrinate them while they are young, and the best place to do that is in the classroom. Ironically, most American parents simply hand their children over to public educators for their daily dose of indoctrination with little or no thought to what takes place in the classroom. Too busy or too complacent to pay attention, many American parents who are not liberals, environmentalists, or secular humanists are allowing their children to be systematically transformed into these things.
An example of environmental indoctrination is the “environmental literacy” graduation requirement approved by the Maryland State Board of Education. Maryland educators adopted the environmental literacy requirement—which would more accurately be called the environmental propaganda requirement—at the urging of leftwing organizations that are determined to undermine business, industry, and capitalism. One such organization is the No Child Left Inside Coalition (NCLI). NCLI is an environmentalist group that advocates major societal change to prevent further global warming. Notice the presumptuousness of “further global warming.” NCLI’s agenda, like those of all leftwing environmental groups, is anti-business and anti-industry. The organization is a collection of environmental alarmists who base their anti-business, anti-industry agenda on false assumptions and inaccurate science.

That's one of the reasons progressive/liberals don't like vouchers or home schooling...

Environmental Indoctrination in Public Schools Patriot Update

no... they don't like vouchers because they illegally suck state money out of public education and put it into parochial schools.
home-schooling is just dumb most of the time and a way for parents to teach their kids creationism....
again, most people don't like it because it leaves us where we are...at the bottom of civilized nations in the sciences.
as for the spin given by your wacky right 'patriot update', i fail to see anything wrong with teaching kids to be good stewards of their environment.
(September 23, 2010)- U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan vowed on Tuesday that his department would work to make American children into good environmental citizens through federally subsidized school programs beginning as early as kindergarten that teach children about climate change and prepare them to contribute to the workforce through green jobs.
Right now, in the second decade of the 21st century, preparing our children to be good environmental citizens is some of the most important work any of us can do. Its work that will serve future generationsand quite literally sustain our world, Duncan said at the Education Departments Sustainability Education Summit: Citizenship and Pathways for a Green Economy.
This weeks sustainability summit represents the first time that the Department is taking a taking a leadership role in the work of educating the next generation of green citizens and preparing them to contribute to the workforce through green jobs, said Duncan. President Obama has made clean, renewable energy a priority because, as he says, its the best way to truly transform our economy, to protect our security, and save our planet.
Educators have a central role in this. A well educated citizen knows that we must not act in this generation in ways that endanger the next, said Duncan. They teach students about how the climate is changing. They explain the science behind climate change and how we can change our daily practices to help save the planet. They have a role in preparing students for jobs in the green economy.
How horrible.
In an ideal world, children would be horrible environmental citizens. We should encourage them to litter and consume as much as possible.
These kids are lucky!

What's so terrible about educating kids about preserving raw materials?
There is no infinite supply you know.
I bought a sustainable Martin SWDGT guitar. Brazilian rosewood is all but gone, ebony is nearing the same status, big slabs of spruce for tops is also running out.
Try buying an accoustic guitar with Brazilian rosewood and see what a used one costs.
The guitar is made from wood from managed forests. The spruce top (which has tight grain and bear clawing) is reclaimed from the trash heap where it would have been destroyed. The sound it creates is heavenly.
The back and sides are solid cherry which is halfway between rosewood and mahogany (which is soon going to be in very short supply).
It sounds great and with good wood shortages this is going to be the future of guitar construction.
Sometimes this thinking can have a positive effect--no usage of diminishing woods and a great sounding instrument.
What should be taught, that supplies are endless as are landfills and we should waste, destroy, and plunder with glee?
