The Secretary of Education is vowing to step up the brainwashing of our children when it comes to promoting the religion of environmentalism (my words not his). Secretary Arne Duncan is pledging to make our children into ?good environmental citizens? (his words not mine).
His plan is to teach kids as early as kindergarten about climate change and to prepare them for a workforce filled with ?green jobs.? As he
stated, teachers need to ?teach students about how the climate is changing…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.? He went on to say that “I want my department to help advance the sustainability movement through education.”
His plans are ?to build the science of sustainability into the curriculum, starting in kindergarten and extending until the students graduate high school.” Interestingly enough sustainability, which is supposed to be about allocating scarce resources over time, is not about science but economics, and yet there seems to be no interest in teaching student about the laws of supply and demand or the role of capital in generating economic growth. Clearly the reason is that this would contradict the message. For a perspective on sustainability that is unlikely to find its way into any classroom curriculum designed by this president or his minister of children?s propaganda?Secretary of Education see this John Locke Foundation report.
