Imagine that! Global Warming text for 7th grade Recalled by Michigan Math and Science Center

Seventh-Grade Book on Global Warming Recalled by Michigan Math and Science Center | TheBlaze.com

A progressive children’s book lauding Al Gore as an “eco-hero,” and offers kids suggestions on global warming activism, has been recalled by the Battle Creek Area Math and Science Center — but only after the book had been included in science kits marketed to 35 Michigan school districts for use in their seventh-grade curriculum.
