Shh. He must.be.reported.

Students can't hear something that might make them think unless it's in a textbook and parents agree with it..

DP.. I believe in God, but my religious belief or anyone else's has no place in a public school science class, and neither does politics.

OP - I would email the teacher to get clarification.

"Dear Mr.xxxx , can you clarify something my DC told me the other day? DC told me that you stated that you didn't believe in climate change. I just want to make sure my DC isn't mis-representing what you stated".

If the teacher says that he doesn't believe in it, then I would talk to the Principal, and other parents. If the teacher provided scientific evidence of why climate change isn't real, then sure, kids should think about it, BUT, children are very impressionable, and most of them will believe what their teachers tell them.

Climate change, like evolution, is not an exact science, but there is ample evidence AND it is a well respected understanding in the scientific community. I would not want my child to not learn about common held understanding in the scientific community.

Well buckle your seatbelt, PP, because there is much of what is taught in today's public schools that is ENTIRELY based on politics and the "beliefs" of the SJW crowd. It is clothed in the language of "settled science" and "compassion for others," but this is how dissent is discouraged.

I'm curious, what is an example of something taught in public school that you have direct experience with that the teacher asserts is settled science, but is not and is a factor of the beliefs of the SJW crowd? Since there's apparently so much of it, it shouldn't be a problem. Climate change doesn't count since the vast majority of scientists agree that the evidence supports it and anyone can look at measurement history and see it and its well established that levels of carbon influence it.

Couldn't care less what he believes so long as he objectively teaches about climate change without interjecting his skepticism. You think every science teacher out here believes in evolution? Hell no it's a rack of em out here that are die-hard creationists but they know better than to push their ideologies on students (outside of private schools that is).

I'm the first PP... if they are teaching social justice in science class, then they shouldn't be, and I would not be happy about that. But if they are teaching it as part of social studies, politics and history, I have no issues with it given that social injustices are part of this country's history.

I think both PPs have reading comprehension issues since I stated "in science class".. I bolded it for you in my first post.

It really depends on what he said. I view this like evolution. Anyone that says “There is no scientific proof of evolution” has no business teaching science in a public school. But someone who said “There is still a lot of uncertainty about evolution” would be correct because we are constantly learning new things about the time frame and the manner of evolution (such as the relatively recent discovery that many of us have a fair amount of Neanderthal DNA).
Like evolution, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about the timing and details of climate change. Thank God we have scientists studying it so we can make increasingly informed decisions.

This is true. I worked with a teacher who was a graduate of Liberty and attended an Evangelical church. I assume he didn't believe in evolution, but who knows maybe he did? He however did teach it as part of the curriculum and I never heard rumors of him making religious/creationist comments.

This might not be the right phrase, but is this helicopter parenting? It just seems odd to interject at all when your 13 year old kid hears a casual statement from somebody that happens to be a teacher. If my teenager heard anybody commenting about climate change, and then asked me about it, I would view it as an opportunity to share my views with the kid. Maybe OP's teenager is in the process of forming views on the subject and testing out theories on her parents. Calls to report the teacher are outrageous.

Don’t believe this poster.

The last time AAAS did a study, 90% of scientists were liberals. Because smart people, trained to evaluate data on their own, can see through rightwing propaganda.

Also, Republican liars are trained in projection: accusing others of their own sins.
The truth is: Republicans are the enemies of science. They hate science, and they hate schools, because both are independent sources of truth that fight back against rightwing lies.

Teachers should never share their beliefs with their students. Unprofessional.

IMO, the reason why the teaching profession doesn't get the respect it deserves is because teachers allow themselves to be treated as less-than and like convenient mandatory childcare.

I've been in the corporate environment for almost 20 years and you don't hear people say these types of things. Why? They don't want to appear to be unprofessional. Also, most offices I've worked in have strict rules about openly discussing certain topics (religion, politics, sexual orientation - to name a few).

Oh Lordy,

Do you think it's scientists who populate the teaching cadres in our schools?

You, dear supposed science lover, hopefully understand what a dumb argument you just made?

So, as a scientist, can you please explain the connection between windmill noise and cancer? Please educate the SJWs with the wisdom of the right.

Very interesting question.

You should ask the Kennedys and their Dem friends why they opposed and eventually destroyed a very smart eolic energy project in Cape Cod.
