New Report Reveals Green Brainwashing In UK Schools

Call For Inquiry Into Disturbing Teaching Materials

London, 8 April: A new report published today by the Global Warming Policy Foundation is calling for Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Education, to institute an official inquiry into the way environmentalism and in particular climate change are being taught in schools.

In the report, authors Andrew Montford and John Shade describe how environmentalism has come to permeate school curricula across the UK, featuring in an astonishing variety of subjects, from geography to religious education to modern languages. Passing examinations will now usually involve the ability to recite green mantras rather than understanding the subtle questions of science and economics involved.

The authors review in detail the climate change teaching materials currently used in British schools, with disturbing results. There is ample evidence of unscientific statements, manipulated graphs, and activist materials used in class and even found in textbooks.

The report also describes how activist teachers try to make children become the foot soldiers of the green movement, encouraging them to harass their schoolmates and pester their parents to bring about “behaviour change”.

The use of fear of climate change to alter children’s behaviour is also highlighted. This is undoubtedly having harmful consequences on children’s development and surveys indicate that fear of the future is widespread. The report quotes one child as saying:

           “I worry about [global warming] because I don’t want to die.”

Author Andrew Montford says: “The brainwashing of our children for political ends is shameful. Those responsible for education in the UK need to take action and take it quickly”

My Take - I saw Bill O'Reilly last night and he made some comment about Common Core and how did didn't understand it except to acknowledge there were those who considered it a conspiracy by the federal government. All the while it was obvious he wanted to roll his eyes as this was all said with a smirk. Why is this guy so popular? I can only take a few minutes of him at best, and if he doesn't understand what Common Core is or what it's about he shouldn't be on this show. O'Reilly is a phony, but back to the point.  This concern about liberal propaganda being a substitute for real education is exactly what is going on in Britain, and it's already going on in American. If the entire plan for public education is placed in the hands of a few Washington insiders I can guarantee corruption way beyond anything were seeing now.
