Not the good old USA anymore
What goes on in the elementary schools of Marin County is scary:
Lu Sutton joined the program last month, bringing to eight the number of Marin schools that have introduced the program that began earlier this year at Bacich Elementary and Kent Middle schools in Kentfield. The program is being financed by a $200,000 donation from the Earth Day Every Day Fund of the Marin Community Foundation. Three nonprofits, the Marin Conservation Corps, Strategic Energy Innovations and Cool the Earth are implementing the program and hope to introduce it to 25 Marin schools by the end of the year…
Principal Candee Adams played “Mother Earth,” fifth-grade teacher Sue Spry played “The Sun” and Debbie Dees was “Mother Nature.” Fourth-grade teacher Cathy Stanek played “Polar Bear.” The title of the skit was “Save Some for Me.” “Too much carbon makes me feel like I’m wearing a blanket,” Adams said as Robles’ character swirled around the stage. “I’m Queen Carbon, not a role model,” Robles said in her introduction. “Do you want to save the Earth? It’s up to you to choose. “Yes, I’m Queen Carbon, and I’ve got the Carbon Dioxide Blues.”…
On Friday, Rancho students will be given bilingual “Cancel-a-Car” coupon books filled with ways they can fight global warming. Once the coupons are returned to school, teachers will track what conservation efforts are made and the date. Teachers will help monitor the progress. As the carbon reduction increases, images of cars will be crossed out on a giant poster kept at school.
This indoctrination is creepy and witless. Worse than that, cloaking bad thinking and limitations on freedom in enviro-hooey appears to be very effective.

But this solves a real problem. With more effective early indoctrination, those programs giving the engineers of the soul so many problems, such as the University of Delaware’s reeducation program, can be brought to a level that won’t bring unwanted attention from the proles.
Now if we could just make pre-school mandatory, we could all but eliminate unwanted influence from the parents.

Aren’t mother earth and mother nature the same?
