The fact that the earth has warmed slightly over the last century is pretty much settled. An "anthropomorphic" cause therefore is not at all settled, and is heavily debated WITHIN the scientific community.

The algoresque curricula simply LIE about the scientific status of this debate. In fact this is a very close analogue to creationism. algoresque global warming propaganda has been inserted into curricula by politically motivated activists rather than as the result of it's having actually prevailed within science. In the exact same way creationists and IDers use popular and political pressure tactics demanding the insertion of their views despite their failure as actual science.

By seeking to have antievolutionism represented in textbooks and currical on the basis of intellectual affirmative action, you're only validating the methods of econuts, leftists, gratuitously aggrieved ethnic groups, and other identity groups looking to have curricula shaped in their interest.

The most effective stance in opposing such crap is to insist on high, hard-nosed and uncompromising standards of intellectual and academic integrity in all subjects. This is the attitude conservative should take, but they can't do that if they're playing the same game as econuts and leftists.
