State climate curriculum says 'emotions' should outweigh 'rational thinking'
WND ^ | 12/21/2022 | Reagan Reese

The Washington state Department of Health’s climate curriculum instructs teachers to focus on “emotions” over “rational thinking,” according to curriculum lesson plans.

The Washington state Department of Health released a five part curriculum to help students learn the “intersections of biological, societal, and environmental issues.” The second phase of the curriculum, “Climate Change & Pregnancy,” tells educators and students to “pay attention” to their emotions as “for too long” science has caused “rational thinking” to be prioritized.

“As teachers and students consider the impacts of climate change, we should be mindful of the emotional dimensions of the human experience,” the curriculum stated. “For too long, science and science education have prioritized my rational thinking. As we delve more deeply into the impacts of climate change using the [Washington Tracking Network] data and the practices of the Next Generation Science Standards, we must learn to pay attention to our own emotions and those of other people.”

The curriculum notes that emotions “signal alignment or discord between cultural values and technical assertions” and that failing to acknowledge emotions reflects “arrogance.” Ignoring emotions can also “weaken important relationships for getting things done,” the climate change curriculum noted…

This has pretty much replaced our Constitution and our laws and regulations, including the Federal intrusion on social media.

'emotions' should outweigh 'rational thinking'

““pay attention” to their emotions as “for too long” science has caused “rational thinking” to be prioritized”

So would it be wise for your anesthesiologist, surgeon, mechanic, etc. to base his or her decisions on how they felt at the moment? What if your mechanic felt lazy as he was repairing the breaks on your car? How would that turn out?

Follow the science!

Women are killing our way of life. My theory is that social media plus women equals downfall.

I'm 78 and lived in Upstate NY all my life. Nothing has changed...including the level of Lake Ontario...which they manipulate anyways. Cold in winter. Warms up in spring and leaves and flowers pop...crops grow all summer long and we eat vegies like crazy in the fall. Then everything goes quiet again....the plants lose their fruit and leaves...and make a bed for Jack Frost who's right around the corner.

Year after year...all my life...the climate has not changed.

This is exactly how the left make all of their smart decisions and how they sway public opinion. “Think of the children…”

So Logic is being replaced with “feelings”. Every American should consider to home school all their children or send them abroad for education. They US is now slipping lower in illiteracy
