I agree that kids should know about climate change, but I’m wary of enforced education. I live in an area where, if a particular viewpoint were going to be enforced, it would almost certainly be religious, conservative, and historically revisionist. I’m not sure where that balance should be struck.
I’m not stating that a view point should be enforced. I’m stating that the facts need to be taught. And the fact is, climate change is a giant fucking risk to the existence of humanity.
Maybe you could say the “and we ought to fix it” part is a view point. But by that low of a bar “people ought to eat food” is a viewpoint.
