Instead of discussing this at such an abstract level, Does anybody have a link to the actual material to form an informed option?
Perhaps this one? I didn’t watch it
Open link. See PragerU. Immediately close link
As a point of view, I don’t see anything objectionable in that video to expose kids to. It does seem to have an underlying sales pitch, but so does most of the videos I’ve seen on green energy. 
Because they fail to provide reliable data or a better alternative
I prefer it that way. Let kids do their own research. They are just putting out a point of view in that video that is not crazy. I can only talk to that one video. I think this entire thread just highlights how talking about serious topics in forums like these is impossible. Most posts are not about the issue at hand. They mostly are about claiming the other side is evil.
Let kids do their own research.
That…that’s the whole point of school! Condensing centuries of human knowledge and research so that you have an educated populace ready to make decisions in the field based on good information they were taught in school (then later on in life making decisions based on the good information they learned in the field and from others)
They are just putting out a point of view in that video that is not crazy.
That’s how most indoctorination works, start by using logical fallacies and false premises that aren’t immediately obvious to non-experts on the topics
Most posts are not about the issue at hand. They mostly are about claiming the other side is evil.
Climate change isn’t something you can “both sides” you’re either intentionally threatening the survival of the human race (and most other life on earth) or youre a sane human being. You have to be morally bankrupt to even try to “both sides” climate actions on random Internet forums
School has always let kids do proper research. Except now Florida is banning that and making kids watch oversimplified youtube videos full of logical fallacies instead of using proper lessons.
That video is nothing but concern trolling and oil propaganda.
But I thought it was the left that’s indoctrinating children?
That’s what they need to convince their base in order to get them to support their indoctrination schemes. They’ve convinced so many people that simply teaching science and history is leftist indoctrination, and they need to combat it with their own propaganda.
1940s Germany wants their leader back.
Remember this when Florida is flooding.

Remember there were people in Florida blaming wind turbines for a hurricane a few years back.
So now it’s wind turbines causing hurricanes? I was told it was the existence of gay people. Which is it, conservatives?
Yeah, figureitout there bud

Atlantis got flooded and look how famous it is today.
We’ll soon see Ron dAtlantis
This dude isn’t just grifting, he’s actually just straight up evil.
Has The Onion crossed over into real life?
Yes, Ron, everyone knows Clean Coal™️ is the one true source of non-pollution.
Is anyone stupid enough to believe this?
Republicans
My Dad just last night was complaining about wind farms…
Yes… People are stupid
No, they aren’t. In 15 or 20 years, however, when people have left their indoctrination camps disguised as schools …
I used to ride the bus with a lady who grew up in a coal town. We once debated over coal. She said it was so green because there were so many regulations and that wind and solar were horrible for the environment because they were killing birds. So yeah, people are stupid.
Glass windows kill birds too when they try to fly through them. How exactly did she think solar power could kill birds or be bad?
PV panels, not really, but concentrated solar can and does kill birds. Not nearly as many as coal, though, lol.
Instant rotisserie chicken!

Children in school
Yep. They’re trying to get their lies in as these children’s first belief on the matter. Anyone pushing a different view (such as the truth) will then have to defeat this belief first. Same thing religions do, because they know their stuff doesn’t stand up to neutral mature scrutiny.
Belief in Clean Coal would be an improvement for his brain!
He’s currently trying to pave Florida roads with literal radioactive mining waste.
It’s fine though, if you say “radioactive” his supporters will insist it must be nuclear.
Wind and solar powerRon DeSantis pollutes the Earth and makes life miserable.With his very own existence
It always amuses me how politicians and community “faith based” leaders can blithely condemn what scientists have been warning about for decades, as if they know better (with no training or experience). Anti-intellectualism is the Dunning-Kruger effect applied to politics, known as Populism, aka the idiots revenge.
These politicians don’t give a fuck about being right. They probably know they are wrong. Being a climate change denier just likes their pockets better.
too bad we’re all gonna be dead in a few decades.
The problem with faith-based leaders is that they do everything in bad faith.
Damn, America’s really fucking dumb.
Florida* I’m from California and I’ll be damned if I’m lumped in with most of the rest of the US (Oregon and Washington are great though).
Eh, the populated areas of Oregon and Washington are chill. The rural areas are scary.
California is like that too, we’re not special unfortunately
Very true!
As someone who grew up in rural Washington on the threshold of populated Washington, yeah shit gets pretty fucked really quick in those rural areas.
It was a really religious area as well so that really didn’t help. The local religious people have a strong belief in having as many children as possible as soon as possible. The running non-joke (because it’s common) about it is the first kid to turn 16 drives the 3rd van.
From your PNW neighbor, thanks!
We’re a great coalition of states, even with the red areas we have to drag kicking and screaming into this century.
I truly believe if the US went to shit California, Oregon and Washington would end up as one of the resulting territories. It makes a lot of geopolitical sense.
BC joins and we become Cascadia!

Yeah it gets pretty embarrassing the more east, southeast ya go. SMH

“attacking solar and wind because “their batteries break down and become hazardous waste””
My solar array has no batteries, it powers the house during the day and generates 2x to 3x the power which is fed back to the grid which gives me credits that pays for the energy we use after the sun goes down
My “electric bill” went from over $100 a month to $13, which is really just the associated taxes and fees.
I guess nobody explained that setup to him.
They (Mr. Oil, Mr. Coil and Mrs. Nuke) explained to him that they are loosing $87 from your electric bill what will effect their profits and donations to him.
What interest group does Mr. Coil represent?
:D sorry, of course the coal guy, not the one with the fancy hairstyle.
Florida kids are going to grow up and leave Florida and be like “What the fuck?” Why is the rest of the world different from what o was taught.
Leave Florida? The majority of Americans never travel more than a few hundred miles from where they’re born. And an overwhelming majority never leave the US.

Luckily the world is bigger than the US/Florida
But is it big enough to survive US/Florida
Unfortunately the US has a tendency to export their particular brand of crazy to the rest of the world

In our old age, Millennials and Zoomers will envy the respect the Baby Boomers are given today. We’ll say “I was one of the good ones, I voted against this!”
Is the SOB trying to burn the planet down or what? That’s criminal. I wish those POS could be held accountable for the dangerous ideas they push.
Oh we can and should hold them accountable all right.
Mask of apocalyptic cult arrives.
