Gee, imagine that, a textbook that actually gives a Constitutional perspective.

Last year an international collection of hundreds of scientists and government officials unanimously approved wording that said the scientific community had "very high confidence," meaning more than 90 percent likelihood, that global warming is caused by humans.
Of course if the citation of the international conference on climate change were accurate it would have said:
Last year an international collection of hundreds of government officials and a few scientists unanimously approved wording that said the scientific community ...

This is blatant evidence that conservativism didn’t die a natural death as some have said; it’s being beaten to death right in front of us.

Censorship for presenting an alternative view?

How Mugabe.
