So even Arnold “Environmental” S. is against what is already taught in schools? You think that Elementary school students and others were not fed heeping glops of Environmentalism in Science class? Some of the biggest brainwashing was not on education, or on our defense or on religion, but when I was in Elementary School it was about the rainforest.

That was what was important. To keep some public school dream alive that I would become ecologically aware about how awful it is that people are cutting down trees there. They did show us a documentary on trees and wood and made into pencils, but I can recall even then that we were too busy being taught the “Greenhouse Effect”(which is what they called it when I was in school, with no mention about how eeeeevil CO2 is. I always learned that it was a good gas, but I guess that I am wrong to the Gorons) to learn anything else.

I like Arnold S. for doing this, but to act like that is some rampant blow to brainwashing our children, which might be the reaction in some circles, is naive. I was in school in the past 10-15 years and I know what I was taught. Even in Community College in Astronomy we learned all about Global Warming. And in Oceanography we watched a video which remarked about being “good stewards” of the Earth like putting on a light for two hours more than usual will suddenly rot the world’s oceans. According to Obama maybe.

Thank you for your response. This has indeed been going on for a long time. In the 70s, it was global cooling. Plus we learned all about the “evils” of DDT.

I don’t why I have to un-do the damage that schools do. But I guess it is a useful education in not believing everything the teacher says.
