6th Grade Class Denounces Global Warming Skeptics as 'Horrible People'
Excerpt: If you doubt teachers across the country are trying to brainwash schoolchildren with global warming alarmism, take a look inside the sixth grade classroom of teacher Michael Steria at David A. Brown Middle School in Wildomar, California. Twenty-five sixth graders teamed up to write eight letters to The Heartland Institute describing what they had been taught about global warming. [..] Global warming "means that if we don´t fix the climate, everything will be destroyed and we won´t be able to survive," two students wrote. Others found their global warming lessons similarly frightening (all transcriptions are as the students wrote and sent them, uncorrected): "I think your 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." "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." "We feel that it is wrong what you are doing. We know that you know that global warming is NOT we repeat NOT a myth, And we think it is selfish that you would take money over yours and your peers lives." […] The students say they read 10 articles about global warming; their letters describe and identify seven of them. Three of the articles have nothing to do with global warming or greenhouse gases. Two are dire predictions from non-scientists at the United Nations disaster relief agency, the U.N. Development Programme, and nongovernmental organizations engaged in disaster aid. One article relates state efforts at monitoring greenhouse gases.

Letters from Sixth Grade Students Reveal Global Warming Indoctrination March 25, 2008 By: Maureen Martin

If you doubt teachers across the country are trying to brainwash schoolchildren with global warming alarmism, take a look inside the sixth grade classroom of teacher Michael Steria at David A. Brown Middle School in Wildomar, California.
Twenty-five sixth graders teamed up to write eight letters to The Heartland Institute describing what they had been taught about global warming. Steria sent the letters to the institute in March.

The students said they learned about global warming by reading 10 articles about it. None of the articles, however, was about the science of global warming. Many described terrifying consequences that supposedly will result, convincing the students all living things--including all human beings--will be dead in 10 years.
Steria´s Teachings
Global warming "means that if we don´t fix the climate, everything will be destroyed and we won´t be able to survive," two students wrote. Others found their global warming lessons similarly frightening (all transcriptions are as the students wrote and sent them, uncorrected):
"I think your 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."
"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."
"We feel that it is wrong what you are doing. We know that you know that global warming is NOT we repeat NOT a myth, And we think it is selfish that you would take money over yours and your peers lives."
"We feel upset because you are making Global Warming worse instead of helping it. We know that almost half of the country knows that G.W. is a crisis. We know that you could help the environment with the $800,000 you have."
"We feel that they are destroying our planet by saying G.W. is not a crisis. You think GW is not a crisis but it is; you know deep down that it´s a real thing that´s happening. Everyone has a part in helping GW, and you´re making worse."
"I do not think that what you are doing is right because you are telling people that global warming is not a crisis. If this is not a crisis, how come floods have occurred in asia, Mexico, and India. Plus, how can you explain why the glacier glaciers are melting. they can´t melt themselves, because they are in the coldest region in the world."
"Air pollution shrinks fetus size, 31 states target global warming, World must fix Climate in 10 years-UNDP, National disasters have quadrupled in two decades, and Global Warming Denier Group funded by Big Oil Hosting Climate Change Denial conference."
Off-Topic Articles
The students say they read 10 articles about global warming; their letters describe and identify seven of them.
Three of the articles have nothing to do with global warming or greenhouse gases. Two are dire predictions from non-scientists at the United Nations disaster relief agency, the U.N. Development Programme, and nongovernmental organizations engaged in disaster aid. One article relates state efforts at monitoring greenhouse gases.
Yet more experts on the subject speak out.
A my school aged kids ( elem to hs ) will tell you that Global Warming is junk science.
One more good reason to do away with publicly funded schools.
Of course, I wonder what will become of these kids when the climate does not match their doomsday predictions. I remember being a kid in the early 1970's being told there'd be an ice age by 1980 unless we stopped pollution. Didn't happen. Maybe in 20 years when we're shoveling snow in Miami these kids will rethink this BS.
perhaps the teacher should focus on the differences of your and you're.
I am a horrible person and a BIGOT also............
Wheres my sign?
Those kids don’t need to be worrying about global warming, they need to worry about being in the 6th grade and having a 3rd grade level writing ability.
the indoctrination is proceeding well
The spewings of prepubescents has as much significance as a Berkeley city council ‘resolution’.
Ping.
> “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.”
“Nyaa nyaa! You’re a meanie and a a poo-face and you stink!”
Somebody ought to take these brats into hand and give them ongoing detentions until they learn how to speak respectfully to adults. Hurling abuse is a poor way to persuade anyone of anything: our paid servants whose job it is to educate these infants have done a poor job. We would be better served if they taught the Art of Persuasion to these our precious Future Citizens.
But I guess this merely serves their alterior purpose, which is to engineer the next generation of disrespectful whinging liberal malcontents.
Liberals once again teaching children to hate. Seems more like Hitler’s approach than America’s.
My kids get this indoctrination at their school all the time. The only thing I can do is tell them them the other side of the story.
Diehard,
Would love a translation of your tagline.
Please, I have you beat by a mile.
I am a typical white person.
David A. Brown Middle School, home of the Al Gore braintrust. No one he’s won so many awards with that kind of brain power behind you.
Global warming hysterics are just the lap dancers of the left.
They are just flapping their words to jiggle dollars out of our pockets.
This is racist and sexist.
