American parents are well aware that the nation's public schools are becoming nothing more than indoctrination day camps designed to create fledgling liberal activists. Now included in the curriculum are things like social justice and transgenderism, but being excluded are the rights of parents to know what goes on in their child's classroom. While parents may be demanding that kids be taught things like reading, writing, and arithmetic, teachers and school officials are figuring out ways to sneak the left's agenda into virtually every subject children are being taught. The latest subjects to include climate change will be in...wait for it...math class and English class.
On Wednesday, the New Jersey Board of Education approved math and language arts standards for K-12 students that include "climate change education." The extra content in New Jersey's public school curriculum is not necessarily new. New Jersey became the first state in the nation in 2020 to approve climate change content into the curriculum. The idea, they say, is to usher in a new generation of “students that can analyze, question, interpret, to think independently, and bring critical deduction” to the “burgeoning industries of the future green economy." Climate change content has already become a part, at least in New Jersey, of other subjects like technology, health, science, and world history. By a vote of 6-4, the Board of Education decided that no class would be off-limits to indoctrinating New Jersey schoolchildren on climate change.
Now included in the standards for teachers are small green symbols which will assist them in creating for students what is being called “opportunities to integrate specific examples of climate change education provided by additional age-appropriate resources.” These notes are designed to help teachers create supplemental units to discuss climate change in order to have “authentic learning experiences integrating a range of perspectives.”
