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.”

Next thing you know schools will be trying to make people real smart or something.

You haven't by any chance been asked to provide a DNA sample to the Koch Bros?

BA already sent his swab to the NRA.

You don't make people smart by burning the books. Then you teach them to follow the shepherd.

Creationism, for instance, doesn't belong in public school science curricula- except maybe comparative religions, or in the religion section of the school or public library.

The fossil fuel industry efforts to force anti-AGW propaganda in is similar.

I'm less certain about whether to credential private Zoolander Academies or home school curricula that choose to.

The propaganda comes from the book burners, hence the burning of the books and the following of the shepherd. There can be no question only compliance.
