Obviously, you haven't even looked at the Website, have you? If you had, you would be 100% behind this program.
Yes, I've looked at the website and I know spin when I see it. Do you really think they'd say, "We're going to indoctrinate your kids with our message?"
Last year my fifth graders spent a month in science learning how to build a geothermal home and how evil all their parents are for not having a windmill or mirrors on their roof. I told the school what I thought of that nonsense.
I couldn't agree more. They are teaching our children that their parents are wasteful, not environmentally conscious, and don't know a lot of things (thanks Al Gore).

This person hasn't even looked at the Website. He should love this program.

No, they'll make it sound so noble and so benign.
Go get your tinfoil hat and go play.
You may have visited the Website. You didn't read anything. That's Obvious. Try the "About" page, if you know how to get there. In case you don't, there is a "menu" at the top, and one of the tabs says, "About". Click on that. Then wait for it to load, and READ it.
Oil should be nationalized, it would greatly help with our budget deficit. Compensate land owners with resources on their property reasonably but other than that, natural resources belong to the American people.
No, it shouldn't. You want us to be like Venezuela? No, no, and no!
Our country works just fine as it has for it's entire history, and we have a higher standard of living (at least up until Obama), than any country in the World has ever enjoyed.
Proof, we do not need "fundamental transformation."
Which is why I'm gonna home school my kids. I don't want them to spent K-12 in a combination of a corporate, left-wing echo chamber all their life while learning nothing.
Do it! You won't regret it at all. We did, and they did very well, scoring in the high 90 percentile on every standarized test they took.
My youngest passed the ACT on the first try with a very high score also. Some public school kids have to take it more than once before they pass.
It would sure tick off their employers if I took my kids home to school them. They're all 35 or older.
I don't mind my grandkids learning about energy, but I do mind them taking lessons spun by big oil and big electricity. Don't you?
No, I don't. Who better to teach about energy than people in the field of energy?
This is the problem I have with 'academicians'. Most have never actually worked in the fields that they teach. I think before you teach a field of study, you need to have some practical experience working in that field. How long do you think it takes new technologies developed in the field to reach the classroom? Maybe years. So kids come out of school with knowledge of their chosen field that is sadly lacking. And they expect to walk right into high paying jobs?
Considering gasoline retails for under 25 cents a gallon in Venezeulea maybe we could take some hints.
Your a fool. The government subsidizes gasoline at around 90%. You want cheap gas move. Just don't cry when your power and water is rationed and food costs a fortune due to inflation like it always does in that dump. Of course if your not one of the ones who owns a car and reaps that 3K a year subsidy your out of luck too. You lefties and your la la land dreams are beyond ridiculous.
