Idaho Teachers and Students Win Climate Change Debate
National Education Association ^ | March 8, 2018 | Mary Ellen Flannery

After several years of often rancorous debate—and more back-and-forth action than a beach restoration project Idaho lawmakers finally have decided that climate change will be taught in Idaho schools.

“It’s a wonderful thing for for our state and its students!” said Coeur d’Alene environmental science teacher Jamie Esler, who served on a state committee of award-winning educators, parents, and scientists that developed the K12 science standards.

The science standards developed by the highly qualified committee, over painstaking months of work, maintain “integrity around the science of climate,” and will enable Idaho science teachers to fully educate their students about human-caused climate change, said Esler.

Yes, Back then I fell for the whole Population Bomb exercise. I forget when I decided it was a bunch of crap, but I see Ehrlich is still teaching (maybe retired? at Stanford) Also 71.

K-12 system has become nothing more than an libtard progressive indoctrination mechanism. Can not count how many Freshman college/uni students I have taught and encountered that can not even write a simple paragraph, among a multitude of other things that they should have been taught within the lame arse K-12 system....but yeah, they keep pushing all of them to college/uni....

While you are at it tell them a baby is subhuman and you can kill it

It's all about the children isn't it....until it comes to abortion. Maybe one of those 6 million murdered children was going to cure climate change.

Next year’s education goal: teach about the transgender Unicorn.

Forward comrades!

Public policy from the mouths of juveniles, programed by the cabal of leftists who rUN the schools.

Wonder where Estler came from? Probably Kalifornia.

Ida ho, not really a ho, but she is a pleasure seeker. Might as well lighten up a sad tale of an Ida ho.

1984 has arrived, black is white, up is down.

...why these mental degenerates would believe that a “magic” computer would be accurate 2 weeks or 50-100 years in the future defies sanity.

Because there’s money in it in grants. That and virtue signaling other “scientists”.

The modern “scientist” is superstitious, covetous of others achievement, and will not tolerate dissent that threatens the status quo. It’s not just so called climate change. There is a long history of so called scientists being hostile to scientific inquiry. Think techtonic plate theory. Think the theory that dinosaurs were not cold blooded, slow, and stupid, but the ancestors of birds; warm blooded and fast. The scientific establishment hates actual scientific inquiry and skepticism.

Apparently there are human caused changes in the climate record. NOAA has been cooking the books for years now.

There will be no wrong answers to this new Idaho public schools test question.

When the weather is _________ than average, it is proof of man made climate change. When the _________ ice sheet is __________, it is consistent with models and proof showing climate change.

Let the brainwashing begin. What is the matter with ID? Californians moving in and infecting another state with their Communism, and Communism is like cancer in the body politic.

Just another indication that the schools aren’t about learning, they are about propaganda.

They aren’t doing this in eastern Washington schools, to the best of my knowledge, and I have 5 in school.

Yet.

Any teaching of climate change should include a close look at Al Gore’s self serving climate change hucksterism.

One of N reasons (where N is a very large number) why the NEA is a loathsome organization with little or no connections to real science.

An education degree is just barely above a degree in Lesbian Transvestite Dance Theory.

A good freshman physics student couple completely dissect your typical NEA “science” teacher.

If you can’t convince the adults, brainwash the kids. It may take a bit longer but the end result will have been achieved.
