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

When I was in school we were warned of how the Soviets indoctrinated their students with lies!

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.

“This book makes sweeping statements” unfounded in science, BCAMSC Director Connie Duncan said Thursday. “We want to be sure the information we send out is 100 percent correct to the best of our knowledge.”

But doesn’t a book titled, “A Hot Planet Needs Cool Kids,” that urges children to become activists, raise doubt about its bias and factual accuracy in the first place? Why would such material be distributed to Michigan seventh-graders at all?
