A lawmaker from the Silicon Valley wants to require "climate change" to be taught as "science" in all California public schools. Warmers can't convince the adults, but they can brainwash the children. "You can't have a science curriculum that is relevant and current if it doesn't deal with the science behind climate change," says the bill's sponsor, California state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto. "This is a phenomenon of global importance, and our kids ought to understand the science behind that phenomenon."
So should adults such as Al Gore, who declares the debate over even as evidence debunking the junk science behind Simitian's proposal surfaces daily.
We don't know who'll write the climate change curriculum, but we'd guess it wouldn't be Dr. William Gray, professor emeritus of the atmospheric department at Colorado State University, who has become known as America's most reliable hurricane forecaster.
"We're brainwashing our children," Gray told 300 meteorology students at the University of North Carolina last year. "They're going to the Gore movie and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."
This scientist and student of global warming said, "The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to have a major impact on global temperatures."
..."I find it disturbing," says Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Thousand Oaks, "that this mandate to teach this theory is not accompanied by a requirement that this discussion be science-based and include a critical analysis of all sides of the subject."

Logic and factual evidence have no value to zealots bent on propagating their reasons for being.

The only way they can fit the Global WarmingTM / Climate Change® propaganda into the curriculum is if they stop teaching actual science. If actual science is taught, the students will surely notice that GW isn't science at all, but rather naked extrapolations based on guesses relying on simulations coming from projections of biased assumptions.

The need to homeschool is national, but more urgent in some states than others.
