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.
Officials at the school, a part of the Lake Elsinore School District, declined to respond to WND requests for a comment. Officials at the district office also declined to respond.

Defund the NEA. It is just another arm of the DNC.
Is there no recourse to public schools brainwashing peoples kids? How the hell is it that these people are not being arrested?
It starts well before that age.
It is this type of indoctrination that obliterates a childs respect for parents who don’t also preach whatever the schools are teaching. The NEA needs a grenade placed under the desk.
Government schools delenda est.
It seems to me that these students' class hours could be better spent in the study of spelling, grammar, and style.
They would not have passed 6th grade when I was in it 15 years ago.
The exact same thing the Democrats believe today.
The public schools push left wing indoctrination on children. The only thing saving us is that most left wing public school teachers are so lazy and incompetent that the kids don’t follow half the stuff they are taught. It gets worse every year.
There are too many “teachers” going into education so that they can finally be the “smartest” kid in the classroom — and can tell all the others what to do and think.
Thank you for the link to Dr. Sowell’s essay. I think it deserves its own thread, so I have started one. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2013460/posts?page=1
I was so proud, and I think the teacher was a bit taken aback. (Me too actually, I'm surprised she remembered that much of what we have discussed!)
The weekly readers magazines they bring home and our dinner conversations reveal a lot of what they get taught.
Kudos to you - you’ve done well. Perhaps the other kids in her class actually learned something that day.

It’s up to parents to debrief their children regularly and tell them the truth. That’s what I did with my kids. I told them to smile, puke back whatever liberal twaddle the teachers wanted to see on their tests, homework, and papers, and get an ‘A’. I taught them to laugh to themselves in the knowledge that they were getting over on their idiot teachers.
Excellent!! Great post.
Your daughter is smarter than my Stepmother. I swear that she’s unable to reason.
I also brought up the whole “ice age” thing, and how these ice ages and warming occur in cycles. And how I wanted a pet sabertooth tiger, but they became extinct before people were around (I think that she believes that humans caused the extinction of dinosaurs too, but she hasn’t admitted it publicly).
Do you remember when it came out that Mars was also going through “global warming” and the ice caps were shrinking? Proof positive that the “warming” effect is coming from the sun.
But my Stepmother couldn’t understand that “greenhouse gasses” and SUVs on earth don’t have too much of an effect on the climate of Mars. In fact, every time I mentioned that we’re dealing with another planet entirely, and there are no people on it at all, she kept going back to how we’re the ones causing “global warming” on Mars, if it’s getting hot there too.
She really doesn’t get it. The scary thing is that she does vote.
