We have a simple belief here at IHateTheMedia.com: Global warming won’t kill us, but stupidity may. Johnny can’t read, write or do arithmetic, but he sure knows that global warming is killing the polar bears.
PatriotUpdate.com has the environmental information:
Across the country, states are busy setting goals for environmental literacy, including here in Wisconsin, where the state’s first Environmental Literacy Plan is being drafted by a new group, the Wisconsin chapter of the No Child Left Inside Coalition. State Superintendent Tony Evers asked the group, whose members represent key environmental education organizations, for the plan and has called for educators statewide to “renew our commitment to teaching students about environmental responsibility.”
This year, funding was restored for a long-vacant environmental education consultant position within the Department of Public Instruction. Among this staff member’s duties: making sure teachers are properly trained for environmental education, and providing districts with resources and technical assistance to help meet the state’s goals for environmental literacy.
The flurry of activity is partly due to rumors that the Obama administration is leaning toward including environmental education initiatives in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (previously known as the No Child Left Behind Act). The legislation may open up funding for states with strong environmental education programs and goals.
In other words, line up at the trough, little piggies. Here comes farmer Obama with a whole new load of slop.

Isn't environmentalism a religion now? I mean it sounds like one... whatever happened to separation of church and state y'all? Hey if people don't want prayers in public schools nor to be thought about creationism why is it all good to teach about "environmental (moral) responsibility"? Environmentalism is NOT a science I don't care why ANYONE wants to say on the issue.
You nailed it.
"Environmental literacy" as determined by "key environmental education organizations" in order to teach children their "environmental responsibility".
It all sounds damnably Orwellian to me, even Stalinist; these activist Greens all seem to be suspiciously Red on the inside. Time to kick the federal goverment out of our children's education. Johnny can't read, Johnny can't write, Johnny can't add and soon Johnny won't be able (or allowed) to think.
It's time to really think about whether or not some of these marxist-socialists need to return to nature, as compost. I suggest we start at the top of the vine and just start trimming and mulching until we get to the root system. That would be my suggestion for solving the problem of too much CO2 in the atmosphere.
What is it now Mr. Thumbs down? Was it the fact I called you a marxist-socialist, or the thought of being turned into to compost that pissed you off this time...come out and play you little paltroon.
These is one of the reasons that my youngest son now attends a private school. What BULL SHIT!!!.
This is simple indoctrination and nothing more. "Come along children and drink the kool-aide of the day" Billions of dollars spent on education and this country still is behind others that spend far less.
Aw yes, no child left behind. The first very public, display of W the liberal. The federal government and education, another gift from Jimmy Carter that just keeps giving.
Kind of like a STD.
More people with their heads up their collective asses and their hands out. Everyone who's sane want's to protect the environment, we're just not all nuts.
