And whose fault is this?

In another, "It's for the chiiiiildreeeen" moment, MN Senator Ellen Anderson engages in histrionics on the Minnesota Senate floor:



While I would agree with Senator Julianne Ortman's assessment, I would like to go further.

Working in the schools this past Earth Day, I am not at all surprised at Senator Ellen Anderson's assertions that "children are scared."

In our day, our teachers would scare us while telling scary stories of goblins and witches on Halloween. These days, kids are frightened with equally frightening (and equally fanciful) stories of polar bears swimming and the earth conflagrating in a huge fireball, all because mom and dad drive an SUV and don't throw the pop cans where they're supposed to. The difference, back then was that the teachers didn't give the impression that the witches and the goblins were real.

Posters made by kids that are hung on the walls in school hallways are testimony to the fact that kids are being scared to death by the histrionics of the global warming crowd, being fed to them by unwitting teachers.

Yes, Senator Anderson. Kids are scared.

No thanks to you and yours.
