I not a climate change denier in the slightest, but I agree with your point completely. Kids are encouraged at a ridiculously early age to be activists in our local schools. It is such an abuse of the teacher's position of power. If they were actually given a rigorous, traditional education heavy on reading complex texts (mostly classical and traditional) and writing they would be in a much better position to find solutions to the problem of global warming problem one day. They would much smarter and more articulate. The way they are taught now they will only be qualified to work in organic grocery stores and do little more than complain. They can ride their bikes everywhere with smug satisfaction, but in reality that is the only method of transportation they will be able to afford.
