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:

It's a darn good thing that kids in the 5th grade aren't easily influenced. The thing that's gonna suffer most due to the climate change issue is everybody's wallet/pocketbook/murse.(see, I'm being inclusive)

It will take a few years but by the time they’re in HS they will realize it was all BS.

We are all going to die! In less than 125 years EVERY man, woman and child now living on Earth will be dead! Even the babies!!!!

Clearly it is all Bush's fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.

Yeah, but will it rain this Saturday?

[Conspiracy Guy]

The junk science and regulations from it will kill the economy, which will in turn result in violence and starvation so it is true.

OH Noes! I am too young to die! Save me Al Gore! Save me!

Well, we can pray the come to that realization. Seriously, when you were in high school would you have ever thought that an admitted drug user with no records and a marxist/socialist/commie would ever be president? LOL to keep from cryin’.

Good. There isn’t much point in stupid people anyway.

The global warming scam intends to destroy civilization much sooner than a a few centuries.

This is in Colorado, so they will be safe.

Just think surfing on the Platte River (now 100 miles wide and three feet deep)! How cool is that?

[RC one]

I’m still waiting for NAFTA to make all of our lives better. He promised us that too. I guess all the unemployed people in America that are worried about globull warming forgot about that.

It didn't take the implementation of the Common Core curriculum to spread the bogus “sky is falling” global warming bunk. This propaganda has been spreading for years, all the way down to the 1st grade.

I still have a Science Digest from the mid-1970s with a big cover article about how man made pollution was causing global cooling and could result in another ice age.

[morphing libertarian]

A keeper!

I think TIME magazine had a “New Ice Age” cover about that time.

I was kinda hoping to go out due to a heart attack, in bed, if my wife will let me. But now I’m gonna die of heat stroke... Dang.

What’s all the fuss?

The world ended in 1980.

[listenhillary]

Common core isn’t some brain washing, grooming future democratic voters program teachers tell me.

I don’t believe them for some reason.
