Here is why we are losing the battle with our youth. They proponents of global warming, health care and a host of other overly hyped topics is they take it directly to the public schools. Here are two examples:
Fresh off a stint on "The Colbert Report," author and educator Bill McKibben arrived at Edina High School to talk about global warming Tuesday, Aug. 18.
McKibben said scientists know what needs to be done to reduce the effects of global warming. The question is whether people can put those ideas into practice fast enough to reduce its spread.
"We may have waited too long to get started, but maybe not," he said.
McKibben joined arctic explorer and Richfield native Will Steger for an Edina Dialogue event entitled "Our Clean Energy Future." The Edina Community Foundation, the Edina Environment and Energy Commission and other groups put the event together when they found out McKibben would be in town for the Summer Institute for Climate Change Education. The summer institute event provides high school teachers with tips and tools on how to teach about climate change.
Denver – August 29 2009 – The Obama administration has sent out Organizing for America – the successor organization of Obama for America, which was Obama’s campaign organization, to drum up support for his unpopular Obamacare initiative. The coast to coast bus tour arrived in Denver Friday.
Shockingly, opponents to Obamacare are being bullied, and consent manufactured by the White House and Obama activists. Although the White House denies their single payer goals, that seemed to be the main message at the rally in Denver, where the message was carefully controlled. I arrived early at North High School for Friday’s, Organizing for America rally in Denver. OFA community organizers were hard at work.
Even if they are not talking directly to the kids they do all there work on school grounds. Why is that?
