(CNSNews.com) – The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is celebrating Children’s Health Month this October by providing information and health tips on its website, including the importance of energy efficiency in schools.

On the website page is a link to a 26-page EPA report entitled, “Sensible Steps to Healthier School Environment.” In the report’s chapter on Energy Efficiency, the EPA presents a box with items to help establish “Energy Efficiency Opportunities for Schools.”

One of the items in the box reads, “Educate students and staff about how their behaviors affect energy use. Some schools have created student energy patrols to monitor and inform others when energy is wasted.”

For example, the Arizona Public School’s website provides information for setting up energy patrols. The website states “emphasize social action through environmental education gives students a chance to do something about environmental problems instead of just hearing about them.”

Child: Teacher, Mommy and Daddy are wasting energy by driving one of those big cars that were outlawed not long ago. They keep it hidden in the garage.

Teacher: Little Comrade, you are a Hero of our Glorious Socialist Republic! Come now before the class and receive your Pioneer lapel pin and an extra ration of beans.

Disgusting display of indoctrination.

Spare the Air? What kind of crap is that?

"Okay, class, you're only allowed to breathe for 4.5 hours today. We must spare the air for future generations."

Recruiting students for “patrols”,eh? IIRC,Mao Tse Tung was very skilled at that...as was Stalin and Hitler.

If Romney wins, he must not repeat W's mistake and leave the bureaucracy in place. Every department and agency needs the Hercules treatment of the Augean stables—they must be completely flushed out.

That’s the best 7th and 8th graders can draw?
Pathetic.
