Yo, the parents of this town, should take the School Board to Court, this is a one-sided "Socialist" thought decision, something the "Socialist Democrat Party" does all the time, and is Un-Constitutional!!! You people remember Paul Revere? The British Are Coming? Well Rambo is Paul Revere today: The "Socialist" Are Trying To Takeover, Wake The Fuck Up!!!

Environmental groups say science is clear, so textbooks should be, too
In a move spearheaded by environmentalists, the Portland Public Schools board unanimously approved a resolution aimed at eliminating doubt of climate change and its causes in schools.
“It is unacceptable that we have textbooks in our schools that spread doubt about the human causes and urgency of the crisis,” said Lincoln High School student Gaby Lemieux in board testimony. “Climate education is not a niche or a specialization, it is the minimum requirement for my generation to be successful in our changing world.”
The resolution passed Tuesday evening calls for the school district to get rid of textbooks or other materials that cast doubt on whether climate change is occurring and that the activity of human beings is responsible. The resolution also directs the superintendent and staff to develop an implementation plan for “curriculum and educational opportunities that address climate change and climate justice in all Portland Public Schools.”
Bill Bigelow, a former PPS teacher and current editor of ReThinking Schools, a magazine devoted to education issues, worked with 350PDX and other environmental groups to present the resolution.
