The first Earth Day was held in 1970. Senator Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day's founder, endeavored to bring national attention to the cause of improving the environment.

He had 365 days to pick from.

He chose Lenin's birthday.

Sounds like a good day to keep your kids out of school for some sort of other educational activity.

Earth Day is Lenin’s birthday.

Coincidence or Communism?

The very first “Earth Day” on Lenin’s 100th birthday? —yeah, it’s a “coincidence”.

Good day to take your kid on a field trip to dump an old sofa up some dirt road.

... kids across the country are about to celebrate a holiday: Earth Day, which is April 22.

Not mine. The town's having a community clean-up and beautification on the 24th, though, and my kids can put on waders and clean trash out of the woods and stream in our subdivision.

Why would they be in Public Schools to begin with?

We are to be good stewards of the earth and it’s resources.

But sitting in the dark and living in third world or 12th century conditions is not the answer to man’s problems.

Man needs abundant cheap energy. Only through abundant energy has technology progressed. And only through advancing technology will we find the solutions to preserve the environment even as we make life ever more comfortable.

I do remember that Ira Einhorn founded Earth Day. One of my teacher thought he was the greatest thing on earth at the time. I guess him killing his girlfriend and stuffing her in a closet made him fall out of favor with the left.

Keep your kids home from school on E-day.

What's the excuse for subjecting them to liberal indoctrination the rest of the calendar year?

Last year my g/kid’s school had some kind of after school thing about “environmental concerns” and they brought home a note saying that attendance was mandatory. They did not attend and nothing was ever said about it. I also found out that they were not alone in “opting out”, it wasn’t very well attended at all.

Last week end I sentenced my 10 year old grand son to “community service” as a punishment for a misdeed. There’s a park across the street from my house and under my watchful eye and while wearing rubber gloves, he policed the park.

We homeschool but like every group, there are a few wackos. You know, the kind of moms that will tell you how THEIR children eat only organic food and never touch meat, as they wag their leather gloved fingers at you.

Last year for Earth Day, I wrote a thread on our Homeschool Board called, “Happy Lenin’s Birthday!!!” then gave a (FReeper researched) history of Earth Day.

On the board, I was not very popular.
In the Private Mails, I was cheered and applauded.

Excellent grandfather-hood! I have no tolerance for Environmentalism, but cleaning up trash in your own community is just being a good citizen.

Research shows that children already have a disproportionate fear of global warming. One study reported that: “Nearly 4 in 5 kids saw global warming as “a very serious problem,” 3 in 4 saw it as “a threat to all life on the planet” and about 2 in 3 felt global warming is “a threat to my future well-being and safety,” and “feel afraid of what might happen.”



*sniff* I'm so proud..."

YES!

You are corrct.

Earth Day is Lenin’s birthday.

I wonder ... could it be MORE than a coincidence?

The agenda that follows environmentalism fits his MARXIST agenda to a “t”.
