Ding!!Ding!Ding! Author is a professor at NYU. Wow, didn't see that coming...

Like North Korea, Leftists in the US demand 100% agreement and compliance with their every thought.

[samtheman]

Thanks to the NEA and leftist educators everywhere, there is No Critical Thinking Allowed in US schools.

[Blennos]

There's no controversy about whether humans have changed the climate.

This fellow is a true scientist: I declare it so, so it must be so.

[Paladin2]

Prof of Ed.. Clearly an emotional thinker.

[2banana]

And, of course...

The ONLY solution is for bigger and bigger government, more and more regulations and higher and higher taxes.

And maybe ban some things.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Left-wing extremists in the media are really reaching.

Jonathan Zimmerman is Professor of Education and History and Director of the History of Education Program, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.

In other words, he is not a specialist in a period of history, he is a professor on the history of education.

I have a history of education for you. Start with Socrates and end with the NEA, from the world's greatest teacher to the end of teaching with a Washington D.C. based union of the incompetent [not to knock the many fine teachers out there].

[Westbrook]

Why use the word “deniers”?

Why not just call us what you think we really are? : heretics

The right-wingers always have to come behind the lefties and clean up their messes. If it weren’t for us we’d have no country left. So... “Thanks to right-wing deniers, schools still sow seeds of doubt over climate change...” then may their tribe increase - and soon!

[MrEdd]

We’re climate infidels.

[Yosemitest]

see really DO need to round up all those STINKING LIBERALS and put them in "RE-EDUCATION CAMPS" !
We have plenty of closed military bases that we could use, to protect society from spreading their MENTAL DISORDER !
And if they can't reform themselves by listening to reruns of Rush and Glenn,
they can just stay in those "RE-EDUCATION CAMPS" until they return to the DUST from which they came !

[M Kehoe]

"...40 percent of teachers present human-made climate change as "controversial."

Should be 100% Jonathan.

what happened to "question everything"?

Some of the hallmarks of good science are transparency, repeatable results, documented methodology, and reviewable data.

The "Climate Change" proponents have none of that.

[Jack Hammer]

Sounds like Jonathan’s been drinking the Kool Aid.

[Pearls Before Swine]

But in many American classrooms, students are debating whether pollution warms the planet at all.

Sometimes, you don't know enough to have an opinion. These "debates" simply re-hash the opinions of others, and more likely, their parents and teachers.

[Gil4]

“Right-wingers” prefer actual science over “settled science.”

[UNGN]

CO2 isn’t “pollution”

Its “What Plants Crave”

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Jonathan Zimmerman, Professor of (get this) History of Education. LOL. That by itself is pretty funny. As for the article, its not even worth reading.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Groupthink.
