Is classroom Global Warming preaching indoctrinating the next generation?

“ Do you know what your children are learning in school about climate change? Have you ever looked at their textbooks? Is it education or indoctrination? How accurate are the facts? How much is it an ideological or a political message? Is it a balanced curriculum offering options or one imposing a singular view? How much is fear the vehicle of indoctrination? Do you only learn about the material when your elementary school child can't sleep because of threats of a rising sea level? Are you like the mother who told me how children at a birthday party for her seven-year-old cried when a balloon burst because they said there would be another hole in the ozone? I hear from many people about children traumatized by what they have learned in school. A British survey of children between 7 and 11 found half of them are anxious about the impacts of global warming to the point of losing sleep. At what age do we place societal or world problems on young shoulders? US TV celebrity psychologist "Dr. Phil" says emphatically, don't put adult problems on children's shoulders. ” That's Dr. Tim Ball, a Canadian writing in today's CFP.  That leftist indoctrination occurs in Canada's, and our schools is hardly revelation, but this is the slug that captured my attention. “ Some parents want their children indoctrinated, but often don't know what they are doing. Keith Wiley, father of seven-year old Gillian admits he wrote her entry for David Suzuki's (Canada's Al Gore) contest, "If I were Prime Minister." ” Dr. Ball doesn't mention whether the Keith/Gillian entry won  - with it's plea for the elimination of Carbon Dioxide (and an inhabitable planet), but you see his point.  It seems like the most proactive movement voices are also the most ignorant (Remember Kate from Rainforest Action Network in Penn and Teller's expose?).  I am reminded of the film King of Hearts where asylum patients, freed during wartime, take over the town.  Watching that movie  drove me crazy too.
