Warren Schools Blows Budget on Green Boondoggle

Warren Consolidated Schools is launching a renewable energy boondoggle that includes the placement of a wind-powered turbine at the Macomb Mathematics Science Technology Center, which is the district's math and science magnet school. The turbine will generate almost no power and will become the focus of a new curriculum that teaches that jobs and energy come from government handouts, and that the market does not direct profitable endeavours, but government does.

Bob Freehan, a district spokesman, said "We want to be aggressively involved in the type of manufacturing that's going to be part of our future"- ie, after the government kills all other industry in Michigan with high taxes (to provide money for things like wind-powered turbines), then the government can now dictate that public schools (funded with taxpayer dollars) shove environmental mythology down students minds.

The district plans to develop a curriculum on renewable energy for all grade levels starting next school year. To make room for this curriculum, something has to be cut- in my mind, they'll cut history and literature to make room for more 'renewable energy' curriculum.

This is the future of the United States, my friends- the government raising taxes and sucking the money out of the economy in order to build expensive, non-efficient, non-profitable 'environmental' ventures, that suck more money out of the economy, and the whole enterprise is backed up by an environmental mythology forced on students in public schools.
