Indoctrination

[Dr. Evil]

Nothing new or shocking, as a HS Science teacher I've had to endure years of pitiful Global cooling, then "Global Warming", "Global Climate Change", Polar Blast, Arctic Vortex and the naming of snow-storms like Hurricanes...

And of course the state education department will mandate the use of certain text books and supersede local elected school board authority. Yes, common core indoctrination. And yes for those school districts short on funds for books the George Soros foundation will gladly give you grant money.................

Ironic that the people most up in arms over these passages would be the same ones that support adding Creationism into Science textbooks.

For the record, I'm not at all for teaching Creationism (unless it's in a comparative religion or some similar class but certainly not as a science). However, I am also dead set against this as an objective history/social studies textbook. This is not unbiased at all and it is clearly being pushed to indoctrinate young people that anyone who is rural, white, conservative, or a Trump voter is a big fat ugly uneducated racist and probably a xenophobic Islamophobic homophobic sexist too. This is not different than the textbooks that say the 2nd Amendment is just for the national guard.

Been there done that. Textbooks are a waste of money.
