. It seemed like a no-brainer.
I completely agree.

#4 So let's see, on one side we have long-established American industries which produce trillions of dollars in revenue every year while providing vast amounts of energy, paper and wood resources for our economy. They also employ millions of workers, directly and indirectly, and have created tremendous prosperity for all. They also need the scientists of tomorrow to have good educations, as many of them will be their future employees.

Okay, these would be the good guys.

On the other side, there are people who for their entire adult lives have worked in government, or non-productive, non-profit advocacy organizations.

They admittedly are willing to twist the truth for their own political ambitions; are more than willing for the American people to sacrifice their prosperity, not so that other nations will increase their own, but so that by having less, America will be more like these less-prosperous nations.

Last but not least, they are not supporting science education in any way, just offering some inexpensive DVDs full of dubious information with hopes that school children will grow up to be as misinformed, anti-business and anti-American as they are.

Schools should never be used for political soapboxing, but those who pay a substantial amount to help students learn also have a right to omit criticisms against themselves, as long as what they do provide is scientifically valid. Teachers are both able and willing to fill in any blanks left behind.
