We signed on to do this, and we aren't doing it. The Paris Agreement calls for climate change to be taught in our schools.
And, besides the fact we put our name on a document saying we would teach it, climate change should, should and should be a curriculum topic. What science today impacts society more? Are there many school topics, period, more crucial for mankind to understand?
Yes, climate change is a polarizing topic. Despite the ever-increasing, irrefutable evidence that climate change is real -- despite the fact 99 percent of the scientists tell us it is -- many Americans are not convinced. Climate change, to them, is not a scientific study, but a woke lie. Politics are determining what is taught in our schools, not science. That is wrong. Some even point to climate change as proof science has gone astray and scientists are not to be trusted.
A few centuries ago, they believed the world was flat. And, there were those who kept on believing that even after someone sailed around the earth to prove it was not.
Perhaps this is why climate change needs to be taught. Knowledge is power, they say. But, knowledge cannot benefit a society if they refuse to believe it. It is important that people learn the truth as we slip closer and closer to the year when we reap the rewards of our disbelieve. It becomes urgent that people realize the danger.
Politics? Do we simply say, Don't foist and your political beliefs on my children? Don't force your ideologies upon our kids?
These are not political believes; they are scientific facts. This is not a political matter -- or should not be. It is not a matter for which one wing of the populace should be preventing the children from being taught. It is truth, and truth is being withheld from our children at the peril of their future. Don't let them live in the dark ages simply because some politician tells them it isn't true.
When politicians become teachers, the truth gets left out.
