It’s a full day in Leftist run schools. They have to learn about LGBT stuff (especially trans), anal and oral sex, BLM, how white people are evil, and ‘climate change’. No wonder test scores are so bad for math, reading, and history, among others. No time to teach it!
In a First-Grade Classroom, Lessons on Optimism and Climate Change
Seems a little bit cultish, eh?
In June 2020, New Jersey became the first state in the country to mandate climate change education in schools.
Weren’t the kids still locked out of their schools at that time?
Under this mandate, which went into effect during the 2022-23 school year, K-12 public schools must integrate discussions of the environment into classes like science, social studies and even the visual and performing arts. The goal is to further young people’s understanding of climate change and create a generation of climate-conscious consumers.
Visual and performing arts? Sounds a bit cultish
For an article published last week, Cara Buckley, a reporter on the Climate desk at The New York Times, went back to school in May (for half of a day) to understand how climate change is taught in classrooms. She observed a first-grade class at Slackwood Elementary School in Lawrenceville, N.J., as students participated in discussions about the environment, animal extinctions and — one that really got their attention — the implications of shark poop.
None of those have anything to do with the climate scam
In an interview, she shared more about her experience at the school, including students’ reactions to the recent wildfire smoke in the Northeast and the unsavory topic of vegetables. This interview has been edited.
Huh. The news interviewing the news.
Why did you decide to visit a school in person?
I write about people who are working toward small-scale climate change solutions. We need huge shifts to combat climate change; some are underway. But I’ve always been curious about what people are doing in their everyday lives to fix things.
My editor, Lyndsey Layton, had flagged this news to me in New Jersey. A lot of parents really wrestle with talking to their kids about climate change; they worry about freaking them out. Understandably, some people are terrified and heartbroken. That fear was where this idea came from.
Nothing like mass-indoctrination while scaring the pants off the little tykes, right?
The kids were so excited about this stuff, too. I was so struck by the way the teacher really got them to think. One of the big discussions in class was, What would happen if sharks disappeared? It immediately sparked this conversation about the importance of shark food, their poop and how it helps some fish and the ecosystem. The kids were paying attention to every bit of it.
So excited and impressionable, happy to be indoctrinated, rather than icky math and science.
need to get them while they are young to keep the grift going.
New Jersey is the 4th ranked US state in educational attainment (1.Massachusetts 2.Vermont 3. Colorado 5.Maryland… 46.Kentucky 47.Louisiana 48.Arkansas 49.Mississippi 50.West Virginia).
New Jersey is 2nd in America in household income (but cost of living is higher too). Contrary to its reputation the NJ homicide rate is 14th safest. The only red states safer (slightly) are Utah, Nebraska, Iowa and Idaho.
We get to New Jersey often, and love it. Perhaps L’Roy could meet me at Donkey’s Place in Camden for lunch? My treat!!
Dear Elwood:
So NJ is better than LA.
The real question is….
Is NJ better than China? France? Russia? et al…
New Jersey, as one of the better US states, is certainly better than China and especially Russia. But wouldn’t you rather live in Louisiana than authoritarian China and Russia??? I would.
That said, many western European nations, e.g., France, rank highly in education and quality of life measures. But I’m still partial to the US!! I’m a blue man in a red state but still greatly prefer here to there!
Our objective should be to improve poor states such as Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, West Virginia, New Mexico
50.Mississippi (19.6% poverty)
49.Louisiana
48.New Mexico
47.West Virginia
46.Kentucky
45.Arkansas
44.Alabama
43.Oklahoma
42.South Carolina
41.Tennessee
…
10.Virginia
9.Massachusetts
8.Connecticut
7.Colorado
6.New Jersey
5.Minnesota
4.Hawaii
3.Utah
2.Maryland
1.New Hampshire (7.4% poverty)
It would seem that largely “Blue” states largely do better than largely “Red” states.
Grooming and indoctrination, just like learning their A B Cs…
