Democrats Ask Teachers To Destroy Books Written By ‘Climate Deniers’

Three senior House Democrats asked U.S. teachers Monday to destroy a book written by climate scientists challenging the environmentalist view of global warming.

The Democrats were responding to a campaign by the conservative Heartland Institute copies of the 2015 book, “Why Climate Scientists Disagree About Global Warming” to about 200,000 science teachers. Democratic Reps. Bobby Scott of the Committee on Education, Raúl M. Grijalva of the Committee on Natural Resources, and Eddie Bernice Johnson of the Committee on Science, Space and Technology all issued a statement telling teachers to trash the book.

“Public school classrooms are no place for anti-science propaganda, and I encourage every teacher to toss these materials in the recycling bin,” Scott said. “If the Heartland Institute and other climate deniers want to push a false agenda on global warming, our nation’s schools are an inappropriate place to drive that agenda.”

The book’s three authors all hold doctorates and taught climate or related science at the university level. The book was written by former Arizona State University climatologist Dr. Craig D. Idso, James Cook University marine geology and paleontology professor Robert M. Carter, and University of Virginia environmental scientist Dr. Fred Singer.

Yes indeed! Destroying books, search engines (Google) eliminating search results and blocking content, social media sites (Fakebook, Twitter) removing posts they don’t agree with, Mika saying it’s her job to “tell her viewers what to think”, etc., etc. The Uniparty Globalists have resurrected Nazi Gemany! The Ministry of Propaganda is now thriving in our country!

“Public school classrooms are no place for anti-science...”

Bwahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

A degree in “eddikashun” pretty much guarantees that the holder couldn’t pass a 1900 sixth grade science test.

I could easily destroy any human caused climate change idiot with very few equations. Always remember that math is NOT a friend of liberals. And most “eddikaturs” are liberal. Why? Because, what else can they do, save for becoming politicians?

Apologies to the many many excellent teachers (not educators) out there. I have fond memories of all who gave me a very solid education in both the sciences and the arts.

This can work both ways.

I say we have a day were we burn Al Gore’s book, An Inconvenient Truth. Or any other books that proclaim global warming is real.

The smoke alone would piss them off.

Raul Grijalva of Arizona is a Marxist. He is also a very stupid individual who manages to be reelected thanks to Arizona gerrymandering.
