Controversy over ‘global warming’ in Wyoming school curriculum
Eagle News ^ | May 22, 2015 | Victor Skinner

Posted on 05/23/2015 6:08:31 AM PDT by george76

The proposed adoption of $300,000 worth of reading materials for Cody, Wyoming students stalled this week amid criticisms about the curriculum’s “very liberal, very slanted view of the world.”

School board and community members spoke out against a slate of proposed materials for K-12 students that cover topics like global warming, evolution and race. The materials are published by education giant Pearson and Boston publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

...

that aligns with the national Common Core standards.

But many in the community are concerned about how the texts address issues like global warming, which is treated as settled science

...

junk science’ created by a failed politician ..

“As a board member, I will NOT authorize any of the $300,000 allocated for this purchase to include supplemental booklets about ‘global whining’ … Our Wyoming schools are largely funded by coal, oil, natural gas, mining, ranching, etc. This junk science is against community and state standards

...

Other concerns raised by the public included a “exaggerated focus on minorities” and the lack of radical Islam’s role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

...

Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson .. thinks global warming is a real deal.

...

Cody High junior Mariah Stephens think the objections are simply coming from old, white, stodgy Tea Party types that have no grip on reality.

“Because these total Tea Party activists are older and mostly white, they don’t quite understand what is going on in the world.

At first, I thought this was satire. Sadly, I was wrong. We must get the slanted textbooks out of the classroom. Our children aren't learning truth anymore, they are learning an agenda. This will not serve them well in the future.

Too late to save the brainwashed, high school moron quoted in the article, but maybe not the younger children.

Home School!

Of course he's repeating what his dumb liberal parents told him to say.

I wonder if in 20-25 years, the young man wakes up to reality.

See how she has been taught to hate and discriminate based on race and age. Ayers has done his job well.

"Cody High junior Mariah Stephens think the objections are simply coming from old, white, stodgy Tea Party types that have no grip on reality."

“Because these total Tea Party activists are older and mostly white, they don’t quite understand what is going on in the world."

Because humankind did so well when society was run by teenagers during the Stone Age?

Or because many of us in the geezer generation have graduate degrees, completed statistics courses, and now have decades of experience rooting through bovine excrement scientific studies? ("Publish or perish" may have killed as many trees as Weyerhaeuser.)

Feeling unencumbered by the thought process today, Mariah?

“Mariah” is a perfect example of a brainwashed child, the product of our school systems.

It is well past time that we as a nation stop this nonsense.

White people are incapable of understanding what is going on in the world? Interesting.
