Candidate founded group to shift children's 'thinking, values, action'

Presidential candidate John Kerry and his wife, Teresa, organized a group 11 years ago with an agenda to use public schools at all levels to "leverage change" throughout U.S. society by instigating "a complete shift in thinking, values and action" among America's youth.

Second Nature, run by Anthony Cortese, an adviser to Kerry who has campaigned for him this year, promotes the notion of "Education for Sustainability" in schools across the country – from kindergarten through the universities.

Cortese, president of the organization that is financed principally by Teresa Heinz Kerry's foundations, made clear the breadth of the group's agenda when he said: "And humans are guided by a whole set of beliefs and values, and those come from culture, from religion, from social, economic, and political structure. We need to change all of those."

Holly Swanson, a critic of the radical environmental movement and author of "Set Up & Sold Out," said the beliefs Second Nature is advocating parallel those of the international Green parties.

"It's time to question the assumption that any idea that has to do with the environment is automatically a good idea," she said.

This is one scary article. I thought Al Gore was bad with his "Earth In The Balance" book, but these people will have the White House, the Courts, the UN, NGOs and billions of dollars to re-work the World into their 'Utopian' vision. Also, do you think that just because they will ban cars, air conditioning, single-family homes and convenience foods, that they will do without such "frivolities"? Of course not! Those rules are for the peasants! This is 'Kyoto' squared!

God help us all if this man gets anywhere near power.

"Education for Sustainability"

In other words..... anti-capitalism. These guys are one-world socialists. I call them 'Castle Communists'.

They have all of their riches, live in their castles, and now they're going to tell the rabble how to live.

It sickens me!

Thank you for posting this....I was afraid of Al Gore but he has nothing on these socialist.

Kerry gets his talking points straight from the communist party and the average American doesn't even know it (or doesn't care?) Frustrating, troubling.
