After several years of often rancorous debateand more back-and-forth action than a beach restoration project Idaho lawmakers finally have decided that climate change will be taught in Idaho schools.
Its a wonderful thing for for our state and its students! said Coeur dAlene 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.

The next day was a Friday and she was running late as usual, and came to me said we gotta go, I have to go to school. I told her that I had been thinking about what she had said the previous evening and told her that I was going to work from home that day in and effort to reduce our carbon footprint. She said, But Dad, I have a Bio test today, we have to go. I told her that saving the planet was more important than her Bio test. She was livid, and called some friends to see if she could get a ride. No luck. She stayed home that Friday.
I suggested she spend the weekend doing some research on global warming and energy use and see if what her teacher seemed right. She did and spent two days writing a paper for her history teacher that debunked human caused global warming. It was not an assignment but she gave it to the teacher anyway. It came back with a note at the top that said I'll have to think about this.
I seem to remember that she was able to take her Bio test on Monday, but the perspective and discernment she gained was more valuable than anything.
Seattle refugees or Oregon escapees?
50 million lost Americans. Think of the innovation and talent they had. The tens of millions of illegal immigrants haven’t filled that void in contributing technology or arts to our society.
Jamie Esler (no surprises here)

so they’re throwing out Real Climate for Fake Climate Change
Its a wonderful thing for for our state and its students! said Coeur dAlene environmental science teacher Jamie Esler..........What’s wonderful about indoctrinating students with this crap instead of teaching them proven truths?
jamie estler should be arrested for abusing the students. What an idiot.
It sounds like you gave her a valuable lesson. I hope she carries it with her.
The best thing a child can learn is a healthy dose of skepticism.
