Education advocates weigh in on New Jersey's new mandatory climate change curriculum in schools

New Jersey is the first state to introduce a mandatory climate change curriculum in schools.

The New Jersey State Board of Education on June 2020 adopted First Lady Tammy Murphy’s K-12 climate change education. The First Lady led the effort to integrate a climate change curriculum with the help of 130 educators.

The curriculum was scheduled to be enacted this school year, which requires all students to learn about climate change.

New Jersey set the precedent by being the first state in the nation to incorporate climate change education across its K-12 academic standards.

K-12 climate change education will focus on how climate change has accelerated in recent decades and how it's impacted public health, human society, and contributed to natural disasters.

However, some are opposed to the mandatory curriculum saying it could cause unnecessary panic among students and give parents more freedom to choose where they send their kids to school if they disagree with a school's curriculum.

"As with every politically motivated change in curricula, our public schools would do well to provide balanced lesson plans that enlightened young minds rather than cause panic and anxiety. Should educators pursue a comprehensive approach, students need to understand the complexity of science and climate modeling as it pertains to Earth's long history of significant changes in climate. They should also be aware of the secondary and tertiary economic consequences of various policy choices now and generations hence," Vice President of Education Policy at California Policy Center Lance Christensen said.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Anyone with an education degree should never be allowed close to children.

More brainwashing. America is going to be loaded with transgender climatologists with big mouths all wanting to be the next Gretal Thunderbutt know it alls. How nice. Get your kids out of the public schools while you still can. They deserve an education, NOT A COMMUNIST BRAINWASHING.

If subject matter like “climate change” is approved as part of the public school curriculum, it must be clearly distinguished as “political science” in contrast to “science” as there are profound differences between the two.

Mandatory religious superstition indoctrination.

Where is the mythical “separation of church and state” when you need it?

This is how Europe got to where they are. The people who fought WW2 just dropped the ball and let the Left ‘educate’ their kids. Now their ‘kids’ are running Europe, and likely leading to the same destruction of that war.

(and you can tell some people here also have European style ‘educations’)

This BS and cleaning it up needs to be the number one priority of every single GOP Governor. AND, all GOP elected officials in Congress need to pass laws facilitating this cleanup. The GOP needs to wake up on the K-12 disaster. Should have been done decades ago, man do I despise these worthless pols.

Remember when this was just a ‘theory’?

That never worked out. The hypothesis was that warmth would be trapped in the lower troposphere, aided by CO2, and that the lower stratosphere region would be warmed, reflecting heat back to the surface, where we all would roast.

Unfortunately for the scientists, it didn’t happen. There has been no warming of the lower stratosphere detected.

When the temperature didn’t rise as predicted, they then switched to ‘climate change’. You can’t argue with change. Everything changes, and they’ve decided we are to blame.

It’s working!

More making-up of science. “If real science does say what we want we can make our own!”
