Indoctrination, not education!

I found this snippet on a say anything blog regarding a survey taken in the USA, hm! interesting poll, i wonder if the percentage would be the same if it were taken in the UK.
Are we causing harm to our kids thought patterns could be what do you think?

One In Three Children Think Earth Will Be Destroyed Before They Grow Up

And why wouldn’t they given the environmental hysteria they’re indoctrinated with on a daily basis.

There’s a new bogeyman lurking in the closet, and this one isn’t imaginary. Us. One out of three children aged 6 to 11 fears that Ma Earth won’t exist when they grow up, while more than half—56 percent—worry that the planet will be a blasted heath (or at least a very unpleasant place to live), according to a new survey.

Commissioned by Habitat Heroes and conducted by Opinion Research, the telephone survey polled a national sample of 500 American preteens—250 males and 250 females.

On a sliding scale of anxieties, minority kids have it worst; 75 percent of black children and 65 percent of Hispanic children believe that the planet will be irrevocably damaged by the time they reach adulthood.

What I wonder is this: What happens when these kids grow up and find out that for all these years the hysteria about the environment and global warming they’ve been sold on has been complete bunk. That there was never ever really a need to be scared?

That could lead a backlash the environmentalists aren’t going to like.

Of course, there’s not really anything wrong with teaching kids that pollution is wrong. I don’t think anyone, regardless of their views on global warming, wants to live in a place that’s dirty and polluted. But we’ve gone beyond that. We’re scaring the kids now. And I think the liberals are doing it because they want these kids to grow up to be good little liberal activists who don’t even think about why they’re scared about global warming, but just feel scared.

Indoctrination, not education.
