Italy plans mandatory climate change lessons for schools
All children in Italy will have to study climate change at school starting from next year, becoming the first country in the world where this will be compulsory.
Italy’s minister for education, Lorenzo Fioramonti, announced the decision on Wednesday.
The decision will apply to all state-run schools in the southern European nation and will come into force from the start of the 2020 school year in September.
The lessons, which will also teach sustainable development, will be given to pupils from first grade through high school, from the ages of six to 19 years.
Speaking earlier to Reuters news agency, Fioramonti said all state schools would dedicate 33 hours per year, almost one hour per school week, to climate change issues.
You just know that Warmists will complain about it only being one hour per week, because that’s what they do. Complain. But, think about it: kids can be pretty darned contrary, can’t they? They do not like bowing to authority. Might this cause them to take the time to do some research and learn the truth about this man-caused climate change scam push?
According to a report in UK newspaper The Telegraph the syllabus will be based on theUnited Nations’ 17 sustainable development goals, including how to live more sustainably, how to combat the pollution of the oceans and how to address poverty and social injustice.
So, it’s not really about ‘climate change’, just about Modern Socialism, eh?

So, will y'all be asking @GretaThunberg pointed questions on how she traveled from Los Angeles to Charlotte so fast? Certainly didn't walk or bike. Perhaps a fossil fueled vehicle or airplane?

“Mandatory” One of Leftism’s favorite words.
Instead of teaching science in public schools, the right would prefer kids be taught that Jesus is god, and be forced to chant Christian prayers.
Beats the Hell out of being taught Marx is god.
And, even then, they’d be better off with Groucho than Karl.
But the real point is that kids were taught science, real science as opposed to the dreck that’s served up today, and religion and emerged able to think for themselves.
Which, of course, is what really scares the Lefties.
Is “Karl Marx is god” being taught in public schools?
The religion you want taught in schools – does it discuss Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Shintoism, Zoroastrianism, Wicca as well as Christianity?
In a lot of places, it is.
And, when I was a kid, I did get a grounding in world religions in school, although, technically, Buddhism is more philosophy than religion, while Zoroastrianism is hardly a major faith and Wicca is just an excuse for lesbians to run around naked a few times each year.
“Is “Karl Marx is god†being taught in public schools?”
Not that I’m aware of but communism is the underlying tenet of the radical left school menu and communism is a State Religion. The religion we want taught in schools is the religion of our Forefathers, the religion of our Founders and the religion of Western Culture: Christianity. The other religions you named have no bearing on America, it’s founding or it’s rise to greatness but could be offered as electives or part of philosophy. Teaching Zoroastrianism is akin to teaching Greek or Roman polytheism and should be taut as such, if at all.
As usual your deep hate for something precludes your ability to even consider discussing it. You and people of your tribe have successfully cut all teaching of all religions except the subversive teaching of communism fro education. Your hate for Christians won’t even permit children to “chant Christian prayers” or be given a fair choice to determine for themselves if Jesus is God. Your white hot hate for all things Christian combined with your propensity for communist abuse of others means you are now FORBIDDING children from “chanting Christian prayers” even when they want to. How very, very despotic of you. But that’s to be expected of people whose main purpose in life is to fuk up everyone else’s.
