Oregon school board bans books that question climate change

The Portland Public Schools board unanimously approved a resolution this week that bans textbooks and other teaching materials that deny climate change exists or cast doubt on whether humans are to blame.

The resolution, introduced by school board member Mike Rosen, also directs the superintendent and staff to develop a plan for offering “curriculum and educational opportunities that address climate change and climate justice” in all Portland public schools, the Portland Tribunereported.

“It is unacceptable that we have textbooks in our schools that spread doubt about the human causes and urgency of the crisis,” Lincoln High School student Gaby Lemieux said during board testimony Tuesday. “Climate education is not a niche or a specialization, it is the minimum requirement for my generation to be successful in our changing world.”

Whelp -- because your Moonie Times link doesn't make that case. It claims it does, but it also links to the document itself (which is here) and says nothing about "banning" anything. Apparently they put the link in there for show, to make it look like they did their homework, hoping nobody would actually read it.

But I checked it out. Because -------- it's the Moonie Times.

"Oregon school board banning books."

Wrong, this is a lie - no one is 'banning books.'

Obviously you didn’t bother to read the actual resolution:

http://www.pps.net/cms/lib8/OR01913224/Centricity/Domain/219/FINAL Climate Change Reso 5.11.16 MR revised.pdf

Nowhere does the resolution advocate any materials be ‘banned.’

Instead, the resolution appropriately calls for the use of books and materials that accurately reflect the facts and science concerning climate change, where claims that climate change is ‘false’ or not the result of human activity have no basis in fact or science, and are completely devoid of merit – no different than not teaching about ‘creationism’ or ‘intelligent design’ in a science class.

What a difference a couple of decades make. The same idiots who were demonstrating in their tie dyes and bare feet for free speech on college campuses are now in Brooks Brothers suits and suppressing free speech.

So you don't think that democratically elected local school boards should have the right to decide which textbooks are used in their schools?

Who should decide?
