That is misplaced anger.
The "church" here is the holy alter of environmentalism which is as
fast and loose with science as any of the other fundalmentalists


Example?


U.S. Sugar was fighting "environmentalism" tooth and nail when I lived
in Florida.

If you want some interesting reading, check out the connections between
the u.s. sugar industry and the communist revolution in cuba.- Hide quoted text -

A retired 77 year old engineer I know quit eating sugar because of
that. He still to this day will not knowingly put sugar in anything!

A very local example that you probably have heard about, the Florida
Panther. In fact that animal does nit really exist. It is just a
garden variety mountain lion, just like the ones who eat joggers in
California (as determined by a US district court based on DNA data)
but a whole mythology has come up around it.
They have been interbred with Texas cougars but people still insist
that this is a separate species.
The Manatee is another local example of outright lying but there are
people in Nebraska who still send millions of dollars to the Save The
Manatee Club. That money ends up being used to propagate the myths,
not the science.
I am a Teddy Roosevelt "conservationist" not an "environmentalist".
The difference is one is interested in habitat conservation,
controlling pollution and building stronger populations of the
animals, the latter is simply a cult, based on fund raising through
misleading headlines more than conservation.



OK. So, did you surround your daughter with many alternative forms of
information so she could see other viewpoints and form her own opinions?

Separate question: When you spoke to the principal, teachers and school
board about these problems, what did they tell you?

Blank stares



Oy. People like that respond very well to shock, pain and embarrassment. You
needed to crank it up.

Did I ever tell you about my son's petition adventure with his math teacher
in 10th grade?
