A Green Kid is a Programmed Kid
By Tony Thomas
This is the second of three essays on the parallel education universe of leftist Cool.org within Australian schools (Part I is here). Today I’ll discuss Cool’s agitprop for sending kids out on campaigns, plus its determination to brand Net Zero follies as “misinformation” .
Cool doesn’t just feed kids its climate factoids, it wants kids to preach the green gospel to schoolmates, parents and the community. One lesson is illustrated with an Afro-haired girl of colour aged about 11 and using a bullhorn. It could be a metaphor, more probably it’s literal.
A template tells teachers to dish out “Campaign Role Badges”[1], including Energy Explorer, Creative Captain, Message Master and Team Leader. This leader presents the group’s finished campaign to the class, ensuring Young Pioneers-style conformity to the ideology (As a Communist kid myself in Perth, I wore the East Germans’ Young Pioneer neckerchief).
One lesson for 10- to 11-year-old’s is headed, Designing a Media Campaign to Promote Clean Energy Facts. Teachers’ job: “Share some of the following examples of accurate clean energy campaigns with your class. Where possible, encourage students to assess how their campaign could counter misinformation in the clean energy sector.”
