‘Little Green Steps’ Reflect Sustainability in Education (Part 2) | Somewhat Reasonable:
"...There is value in teaching our youth to respect our environment and explaining the importance of not polluting the Earth.
However, teaching only one viewpoint about controversial issues, and claiming that only one viewpoint represents established science, certainly silences any further discussion on the issue.
That is not education, it is indoctrination (brain washing) and thus becomes a form of political pollution in the classroom.
Sustainable development is a “catch phrase” that students in most every American classroom are hearing way too often.
The biased education material presents students with a viewpoint claiming that the Earth is in dire peril due to mans’ irresponsible behavior, and that without an enforced program of sustainability, the Earth is doomed.
Parts of that curriculum are highly debatable, but students are rarely given opposing facts or viewpoints, even though they exist.
Students are rarely taught that a growing number of credible scientists have studied the issue and arrived at different statistics and conclusions than the doomsday apologists...."
