CENTER OPPOSES "GREEN WELFARE" FUNDING
FOR EPA 'ATTITUDE' TRAINING IN NATION'S SCHOOLS

Washington, DC - "When are Republican Congressmen going to wake up
to
the
realization that the Environmental Protection Agency is perilously close
to
being a subversive entity within our government?" asks Tom DeWeese,
president
of the American Policy Center. The Center has called on its supporters
to
contact Congressman Michael Castle (R-DE) whose bill, H.R. 4745, would
provide funding to the EPA to cultivate "proper environmental attitudes"
in
the nation's school children.

"Just what attitudes would that be?" asks DeWeese. "An attitude that

feeds the catastrophic forest fires we're experiencing by not cutting
down
a
tree for any reason? An attitude that puts everyone at risk of
pest-borne
diseases by banning pesticides that have protected people for decades?
An
attitude that mandates reformulated gasoline that has driven up the cost
to
drivers? An attitude that mandated MTBE, a gasoline additive that is now

poisoning water supplies around the nation? An attitude that ignores the

Senate's rejection of the proposed UN Kyoto climate control treaty and
seeks
to implement it anyway? An attitude that advocates vegetarianism?"

Rep. Castle's legislation, called "The John H. Chafee Environmental
Education Act", would, says DeWeese, "fund every radical environmental
group
in the nation to further brainwash school children with their
apocalyptic,
doomsday scenarios. None of this has anything to do with real natural
science, real chemistry or real biology. This would give them license
and
funding to further invade our classrooms."

The Center is calling on its supporters and others to call Rep.
Castle's
office at (202) 225-4165 to register their opposition to this
legislation.

"There is ample documentation of the way countless school textbooks
reflect the Green message and now Rep. Castle wants to fund a program
that
would have children indoctrinated with the lies of the radical
environmental
and animal rights organizations whose coffers would be further fattened
with
tax dollars. That is a very bad idea and must be defeated," said
DeWeese.

I've become so "green" the last 5 years, you don't want to hear my opinion - it ain't conservative on this subject.
 
I wish someone would promote the idea that we should neither rape the enviroment nor hug the trees -- we should MANAGE a set of resources, some limited (oil, various ores) and some renewable (forests, fish & game). As usual with any issue in this country, you have one set of extremists demanding we set aside 5,000 untouched acres for every bug versus a set of extremists who figure strip-mining's more efficient, so don't bother us with that erosion nonsense.
 
Well spoken David, the idea of conservation is to get the human race, and the Earth, to last forever. Forget that misanthrope crud peddled in the name of "the environment."
