Democrats Pushing Hard For Climate (scam) Literacy

Of course, most of the Democrats pushing for this have still failed to give up their own use of fossil fuels

Democrats Want ‘Climate Literacy’ In Schools As Actual Literacy Slips

The Democratic Party is pushing to increase “literacy” on climate change-related material in America’s schools while students are performing poorly with respect to actual literacy.

The party’s education platform mentions the importance of “climate literacy” for American K-12 students several times, emphasizing the purported need for students to be able to understand and interpret information relating to climate change. Meanwhile, the average reading score for both fourth and eighth grade students in 2022 had fallen by three points relative to 2019, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).

“We will equip students with the knowledge and skills to understand complex scientific issues, counter the rising tide of denialism by promoting environmental and climate literacy, and reverse the Trump Administration’s cuts to the National Environmental Education Act,” the platform states.

What they’re really doing is simply indoctrinating the kids, who already have trouble reading.

Less than 50% of all fourth grade students were able to read at or above the standard for proficiency in 2022, with only 17% of black students and 21% of Latino pupils meeting the mark, according to the NAEP.

NAEP data “consistently” demonstrates that about two in every three American students cannot read proficiently, and about 40% of all students are effectively non-readers, according to an analysis published by Scientific American in September 2023.

Sadly, reading is way down. The kiddies just stare at their phones, flipping from video to video about every 30 seconds or less. I do not know many GenZ or Millennials who read books. It’s sad. Believe me, I spend a lot of time on the laptop, phone, and tablet. Cruising the ‘net, playing games. Twitter. But, I also play my guitar (not well), play some golf here and there, and hit the gym (where I will also read my book between sets). And read. A lot. I’m a little behind for getting around 85 books in this year, at 55 and almost done with another, but, I’ve also read a lot of books this year that were over 400-500 pages, where they’re usually around 250-300.

Actually learning to read and going out and doing their own research is bad for the climate cult, because the kiddies might run across something that counters their cult propaganda.
