Rather than teaching the children to read, write or reason, we are going to teach them that they are a blight on Nature.

Right on, but don’t forget suicide, birth control, abortion, euthanasia and homosexuality are part of the earth friendly curriculum, too.

My 15 yr old cousin has sufficiently been brainwashed. Earthday, anti-war— all that.

“No Child Left Inside Act of 2009”

That's really the name of it? I thought that was the name of the Obama administration's abortion proposal.

Well, Californification and Masshole have a homosexual indoctrination theme in their schools, so what is wrong with a “green” theme in MD schools? Seems innocuous considering what these two “on the cutting edge” states have in common for their little public school captives — MD students aren’t going to get a disease from planing a flower, that’s for sure, but students in MA and CA may get deathly ill from following and believing in the homosexual agenda pushed on them from their state education committees.

Be thankful for small blessings.
