A group of top House Democrats banded together Monday to condemn a political group for disseminating books skeptical of climate change to public high schools.
"Lying to children about the world we live in to further corporate polluter profits is cruel," said Rep. Raul Grijalva, ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee. "If climate deniers think our public schools are the right place for their propaganda, they need to be exposed in no uncertain terms."
The group in question, the Heartland Institute, is a long-time climate change skeptic, and in recent weeks it has been emboldened by President Trump's proposed cuts in funding for climate change programs within the federal government. The group recently held its annual climate change gathering in Washington last month, with speakers that included former members of Trump's transition team.
"Public school classrooms are no place for anti-science propaganda, and I encourage every teacher to toss these materials in the recycling bin," said Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., ranking member on the Committee on Education and the Workforce.

TWP (Thread Winning Post)!!!
The attacks on Free Speech continue.
Yes there is. I don’t know much about how it works but something tells me that it is something like credit default swaps. Sounds like another big globalist scam.

please! That's Comrade Grijalva!
How ironic, the Marxist left use kids to say that America is bad, but we can’t counter them? Sorry libs, but adults are in charge now...
as is lying to them to indoctrinate and brainwash them so they become more willing to surrender their God given liberties
Grijalva was (and I believe still is) the leader of the Social Democrats in Congress. He is perhaps the most virulent Marxist of the bunch and only his innate stupidity stands in the way of him being really dangerous.
There is no question about it.
Anthropogenic Climate Change is a hoax supported by #FakeScience.
Protect your children from #FakeScience. Home school!
