Green Grads in Maryland

In a coordinated move by state and Federal officials and advocacy non-profits, Maryland may soon hold preeminent status as the most environmentally friendly state in the nation.

State officials are currently promoting a plan “that would make environmental education a requirement for all students who graduate from the state’s public high schools.” If approved this fall, Maryland would be the first state to require an “environmental literacy” component for high school graduation, said Donald A Baugh, vice president for education at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

The environmental literacy proposal grew out of a task force called the Maryland Partnership for Children in Nature formed by Governor O’Malley that includes a section called the “Children’s Right to Nature.”

as the most environmentally friendly state in the nation

When you produce very little and live off of the bovine excrement flowing out of DC of course your state is going to be green...

Yes, but certainly you agree they should have the right to set education policy for their state, right? I think we should help them by abolishing the Dept. of Education.

“Children’s Right to Nature”. Pardon me while I gag. Big time.

[Vehmgericht]

If they are as successful in teaching “environmental literacy” as they are in teaching literacy, I suspect that their state will be the most polluted in the nation.

If you’re out of worthwhile ideas, just come up with some kind of “green” idiocy. It’ll sell.

Just ask Madison Avenue.

What a crock of manure. Sad very sad for those who will be forced to be indoctrinated by this. I see many little robots who repeat the mantra like good little seeds. Sad
