American Thinker: 'Avant-Garde Sustainability Curriculum' to Replace Three R's at Nation's Oldest High School

American Thinker: 'Avant-Garde Sustainability Curriculum' to Replace Three R's at Nation's Oldest High School:

I'm sure that the people at CELF feel good about what they're doing, and they might even admit their program is radical -- necessarily so because of the ecological Armageddon they believe we face. But to me, this sounds very dangerous. Totalitarians throughout history have understood the power of co-opting youth, and here is an organization advocating what can only be called the indoctrination of a generation of students in our country's public schools, beginning in kindergarten, into radical environmentalism and advocacy for 'equitable social systems' -- at the expense of reading, writing and arithmetic! Similarly, the physics teacher quoted above states: 'Our goal as educators is to help students understand how to get to a sustainable world.' Isn't your goal as a physics teacher teaching physics? The disregard for the essential purpose of education -- -imparting knowledge -- is aggressively blatant."
