Even One More Reason I Home School

First, just for the record, I think global warming/climate change is a HUGE CROCK!

From the Washington Post

"Maryland’s Board of Education passed the environmental literacy graduation requirement on Tuesday. Gov. Martin O’Malley says Maryland is now the first state in the nation to have such a requirement. The No Child Left Inside Coalition, which pushed for the requirement, says 48 other states are considering similar requirements, a sign of the increasing popularity of environmental education.  Under the graduation requirement, public schools will be required to infuse core subjects with lessons on conservation, smart growth and other environmental topics. School systems will be able to shape their programs, but they must align with state standards."  (emphasis added)

And, I can tell you that I saw this (below) coming as soon as I heard that the EPA declared human breath a pollutant. 

And just in case you couldn't hear him clearly, here is what he said,

“One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children to have, and the spacing of the children.
You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women. And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.

I give them about 2 seconds until they implement that into their environmental literacy state standards.

"Public policies are being made every day that are antifamily, and the definition of family is changing legally around the world... Antifamily media messages are everywhere. Youth are being desensitized about the need to form eternal families."  (Julie B. Beck, Teaching the Doctrine of the Family)
