So much for teaching facts
Or even how to think for yourself.
It's pushing an agenda.

Congressman Calls For Schools To ‘Promote The Agenda’ Of Climate Change, Population Limitation
By Nicholas Ballasy
(CNSNews.com) - Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) told CNSNews.com at a “Sustainability Education Summit” hosted by the U.S. Education Department on Tuesday that environmental education in schools can “promote the agenda” of climate change and population growth through the influence it has on children.
“Like I keep saying over and over again, if you get young people invested in those ideas early on, that will result in those kinds of positive policy developments,” Sarbanes told CNSNews.com. “So, whether it’s climate change, whether it’s population growth, whether it’s all these factors that impact the health of our world, raising that awareness early among young people is only going to promote the agenda.”

While it might be interesting to "defund" the Department of Education, I see this coming:

Meanwhile, science is making progress

Quote:Britain’s leading scientific institution has been forced to rewrite its guide to climate change and admit that there is greater uncertainty about future temperature increases than it had previously suggested.
