Washington State’s New Climate Curriculum Attacks ‘Rational Thinking’

Teaching climate science in schools can be valuable, but not when it’s blatantly oriented toward ‘social justice’ and views rationality as an obstacle to proper learning.

One sentence from Washington State’s new high-school curriculum on climate science betrays how bizarre the discussion about teaching science has become:
 

For too long, science and science education have prioritized my rational thinking.

Instead of prioritizing rational thinking, the purportedly scientific curriculum argues that “we must learn to pay attention to our own emotions and those of other people.”
