Fifth grade students at Fremont Elementary School in Colorado were assigned a reading passage that describes global warming as a dangerous, man-made phenomenon that will destroy civilization in a few hundred years.
The reading assignment was found inside a workbook aligned with the controversial national Common Core curriculum guidelines, and was titled “Homework from the Future.” It tells the fictional story of a visitor to the year 2512 who discovers that the eastern United States is under water and the country’s population greatly reduced, all thanks to man-made global warming:

Then they'll have to move introduction of the topic back a few years, maybe to the time they read "Heather has two Mommies."
It’s a darn good thing that kids in the 5th grade aren’t easily influenced.
If you have young children or grandchildren you will see how the media maintains powerful influence over our culture.
There are often blatant environmentalist messages in programming for kids, which are otherwise cute shows that are age appropriate with concepts. I am sure they have started with pro-gay messaging, but I have not noticed it yet with shows for youngsters and we are going to skip the pre-teen drama shows because we don’t approve of the messaging - too much angst.
We already know that public education will promote the liberal agenda and that is why we homeschool.
Same thing is true for any kind of nature show and even some history programming on those channels. A few weeks ago I was watching part of a nature show on Discovery that was filmed about 10 years ago and they said with certainty that glaciers in the Arctic were disappearing. False, but for people who don’t pay attention it’s effective. It’s repeated constantly on nature programming.
lol - I thought we were supposed to be out of oil by now? They told me it would be...I must be dreaming every time I get in my car!
So, were the kids told it was a science fiction story? No? I didn’t think so.
LOL...I think rktman was being a bit sarcastic...
Forgot the sarc/ button.
But hey, it would resolve things. However, the tree-huggers would never go for a “man-made” solution that didn't involve suffering and giving up modern lifestyle. So they will oppose it. It would make for interesting teledrama to have Al Gore say we need to keep the earth from warming, but we can't do it “that way” we need to do it in a way that will make people suffer and change our economic system.
Too bad that folks like algore and the “lyin’ king” will be “insulated” from any of that type suffering.
Maybe she doesn’t like Common Core either.
*will destroy civilization in a few hundred years*
I thought AL gore said it would destroy us by 1999...
If we are stupid enough to believe the scam and let the politicians tax us into the dark ages ($700 TRILION), then I don’t think civilization has more than 2 or 3 decades.
LOL! So algore buys tipper a beach front house in Cali. Now that’s funny.
*What’s all the fuss?
The world ended in 1980.*
Plus and equally scientific “scientist” just told us that we’re all holograms...
I don’t believe them for some reason.*
I wonder how much of is plagiarized from Goebbels’ writtings....
This is the way the horse sh*t gets spread around.
