Australian kids are living in climate of fear

PRIMARY school children are being terrified by lessons claiming climate change will bring "death, injury and destruction" to the world unless they take action.

On the eve of Prime Minister Julia Gillard's carbon tax package announcement, psychologists and scientists said the lessons were alarmist, created unneeded anxiety among school children and endangered their mental health.

Climate change as a "Doomsday scenario" is being taught in classrooms across Australia.

Resource material produced by the Gillard government for primary school teachers and students states climate change will cause "devastating disasters".

"As well as their terrible impact on people, animals and ecosystems they cause billions of dollars worth of damage to homes and other buildings," the material says.

Australian National University's Centre for the Public Awareness of Science director Dr Sue Stocklmayer said climate change had been portrayed as "Doomsday scenarios with no way out".

Here is another example of false information fed to children in order to instill fear, to push a political agenda through.

The government is using this tactic on the children of (what it considers) canon fodder, or the working class who have little intellectual value to the community.

This 'curriculum' is not taught in the private schools for the business leader's children.

No factual or even skeptical scientific information is given to these children, but rather fear mongering.

The government does not let this children be children, but rather brain washes them for its political purposes.
