“Climate change is a profound problem and the youth of America need to be at the forefront of the solution,” said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation.
On April 12th, the National Park Foundation announced their 2012 Parks Climate Challenge Program Grantees.
So what is the Parks Climate Challenge Program?
This is from the press release:
“Since 2009, the Parks Climate Challenge program has encouraged the use of national parks as classrooms to educate students about climate change through funding and facilitation. The ability to learn about this important issue through hands-on, science-based field curriculum, has proven a positive model through which to reach students.
“Climate change is a profound problem and the youth of America need to be at the forefront of the solution,” said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation. “The Parks Climate Challenge is just one of our programs that empowers our youth and strengthens our parks.”
Now in its third year, the program first connects with teachers, giving them the tools to create engaging curriculum to teach to their students on the subject of climate change.”
Any ‘organization’ with the power to create policy, to write or enforce regulations, or to issue grants does not ‘educate’; it indoctrinates.
Another good reason to get the federal government out of the education of our children.
People who put children on the front lines of the culture war should be locked in jail cells painted a bilious shade of green whilst audio of Al Gore speeches are played continuously 24/7, until they become utterly insane.
