Creating Green Zombies in School...

Green Zombies, By Henry Lamb.
Are our schools producing green zombies? Ask any student in any grade what
causes global warming; odds are that their reply will be cars, or fossil
fuels or "human activity."
Why is there a presumption that global warming is real when thousands of
scientists have publicly declared, "There is no convincing scientific
evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse
gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic
heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate.
Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in
atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural
plant and animal environments of the Earth."
Public schools are brainwashing our kids. Rather than teach the science
that underlies the global-warming debate so the students can make their own
informed decisions, educators are brainwashing them and calling it English,
or math or history.
Take, for example, the workbook entitled Vocabulary Workshop, published by
Holt, Rinehart and Winston for middle-school English students. Among the 29
lesson titles, consider these:
* Down to the sea with Jacques Cousteau
* What is the forecast for Brazil's rain forest?
* Jean of the environment
* Balancing society and the environment: Global warming
* Catching the sun for energy
This in an English workbook? It gets worse.
The lesson on global warming identifies 10 words for study, which are used
in sentences as an example of correct usage. Here are a few examples:
* "Many scientists believe the Earth's blanket of carbon dioxide is out of
balance. These scientists say that if we don't adjust, or change our
behavior, global warming may result." The study word is "adjust."
* "The blanket of gases is becoming thicker, environmentalists say. As a
result, the earth may be getting warmer. Global warming would be a hazard,
endangering plants and animals." The study word is "hazard."
* "Many people feel disgust at the sight of litter on the highway, but
other threats to the environment do not seem sickening at all. They come
from things we take for granted, like automobiles and airplanes." The study
word is "disgust."
* "We must not continue to foul our environment. Environmentalists say that
we can help stop pollution and prevent global warming if we develop cleaner
technologies and conserve energy." The study word is "foul."
* "Urge people to support a candidate running for public office who has a
concern about the environment. ..." The study word is "candidate."
And on it goes, for hundreds of pages. A thorough analysis of the material
reveals a strong anti-capitalist, anti-corporate and anti-human tone. Greedy
humans are cast as the culprit causing all manner of environmental
devastation. This is from an English workbook.
This workbook is used in thousands of American schools, including the Fruit
Cove School in Jacksonville, Fla. When an irate parent confronted a member
of the local school board, she was told to take her complaint to the book's
publisher.
Math classes use similar language in word problems. While students are
supposed to be learning the three "Rs," they are learning, instead, the
propaganda produced by environmental extremists.
This is not new. It has been going on for a generation and it's getting
worse. The objective of modern public education is to shape attitudes,
values and beliefs, rather than to prepare students to become self-reliant
problem solvers, prepared to realize their maximum individual potential.
The result is a generation of people who believe the planet is being
destroyed by greedy humans, fueled by corporate greed that destroys
bio-diversity in pursuit of profits. Moreover, too many people believe that
the only solution is more government control through policies such as the
Kyoto Protocol, initiated through the United Nations.
Parents must examine the material their children are being taught. School
board members who refuse to assume responsibility for what is being taught
in their schools should be removed at the next election. Publishers that
produce this propaganda should be boycotted.
Parents in a single school who object to this kind of brainwashing could
start a revolution that could spread to all the schools in a district, all
the districts in a state, and across all the states.
Change will not come from a single irate parent. It could come from an army
of irate parents, acting together toward a common goal.
It is a worthy goal, to see that our schools provide our children with a
solid education, rather than to allow them to continue brainwashing innocent
children, and turning them into green zombies.
