Propagandizing America's Kids on Global Warming

This report is troubling and more evidence that the U.S. educational system is providing close-minded indoctrination rather than thought-provoking knowledge. Specifically, students are being fed a leftist political pantload which negates the chance to understand the world around them.

Students at a California public school have written a series of letters to Chicago's Heartland Institute, which works to discover and develop free-market solutions to society's problems, attacking its members for "destroying our planet" by refusing to endorse the politics of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" film.

According to students in the sixth-grade class of teacher Michael Steria at David A. Brown Middle School, the institute consists of "fools" and "horrible people."

"I think your (sic) fools for denying G.W. you know it could kill us all & you're just adding to it. I want you to help stop G.W. not increase it," said one letter.

"We are going to tell you about global warming. I don't care if you don't want to read, but I'm making you read it you horrible people," said another.

The students attend Lake Elsinore Schools in California and some expressed the belief that they will be dead in 10 years because of global warming. Many sarcastic thanks to Al Gore.

It seems the schools are teaching kids to attack those who disagree with them as opposed to understanding the controversy and forming an educated opinion. In that regard, I'd contend that ignorance is being promoted, not education.
