‘Why is the sky fuzzy?’: Climate change lessons need to start as early as preschool
What does ‘endangered’ mean?” Vicki Sando asked a class of first graders on a recent Monday at P.S. 41 Greenwich Village School in Manhattan.
It was the first day of a three-day lesson in which the students would design and build their own contraptions to protect turtle eggs from danger. After watching a video on threats facing sea turtles, including rising sea levels and warming temperatures due to climate change, the students scattered to different tables. There, with a $1 total for supplies, they plotted out how they’d use cardboard, cotton balls and other materials to build their turtle egg containers. (snip)
Even a decade ago, the topic of climate change was, to many, academic and remote. But as temperatures rise, wildfires spread and storms intensify, the consequences of climate change have become part of life. It’s difficult for even the youngest children to overlook: Recently my 3.5-year-old noticed the smoky air caused by a fire in a nearby park and asked: “Why is the sky fuzzy?”
All of that has made it increasingly important for teachers to introduce the topic in the earliest grades, beginning in preschool, according to Kottie Christie-Blick, a climate change education consultant and an instructor at the University of San Diego. Christie-Blick was among several experts I spoke with about best practices for talking with the youngest students about climate change.
Catching them as young as possible to brainwash them into the doomsday cult.
“Political power, properly so called, is merely the organized power of one class for oppressing another.”
? Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted. Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever. Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever…….LENIN
The left has turned to communism. Of this, there is no doubt, and for this, there is reason to fight and It is why I oppose child day care paid by the government, which has been a hot topic inside the Trump Family. Yes, I know that initially, they would try desperately to make sure teachers were vetted, but in the end, an entire generation of Leftist communists would be groomed into America-destroying Zombies.
The above post just illustrates they are already doing this with k-12 in many, many states. What is next but government run preschool.
My kid noticed smoke!
Quick, we must use more of our already wastefully spent public education dollars to enrich “a climate change education consultant”, that is already making 6 figures at public university doing utterly unnecessary “work” so we can properly terrify more children!!!
Carbon, carbon, carbon!!!
We’re doomed
Mr Teach: Catching them as young as possible to brainwash them into the doomsday cult.
Have heard that before, from other cults.
Today’s children, and today’s children’s children must live in the world we ieave them, so of course they deserve to be told the truth. But what is true?
A century ago American children were not taught the science of biological evolution. Environmentalism was largely unknown. Epigenetics unheard of. The extent of the universe.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas, that is, it slows the loss of infrared wavelengths of radiation away from Earth. The 50% increase in atmospheric CO2 has come from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas).
It’s amusing you begin by asking: ” But what is true?” then finish by making absolute assertions about something we are not absolutely sure of.
Not only is there at this time no definitive scientific proof of man made global warming the lies and false claims up till today tend to point to a hoax of huge proportions. The entire MM climate cult has spent (wasted) many years using faulty science, bullshit “consensus” and fraudulent data to create/perpetuate/profit from the entire nonsense.
The predictions fail to come true, the “scientists” keep changing their minds and the entire affair looks like a money making scheme manufactured by a collusion of interested parties in order to pilfer public and private funds. Kinda like Black Lives Matter on steroids.
Sadly, if there is any truth to man made global warming it has become a parody and a non believable farce. Partly because people like you have made it into a religion. Your false gods of climate change, Covid, Russia, Russia, Russia, the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, the “insurrection” or your latest that Biden was “as sharp as ever” won’t win us over. And you won’t succeed until you do or take enough power to force us against our will. You almost got there with Biden/Harris/Pelosi/Schumer but missed. You certainly won’t get there by calling us regular Americans deplorables, garbage or uneducated (Always “H’s favorite). You make lousy salesmen but great dictator pretenders.
