I have been receiving a National Geographic every month for my entire life. It is a wonderful publication with magnificent pictures and some very educational content. They have also been hard core wacky environmentalists for more than a decade. I can tell you exactly what is in this curriculum and it is far from a balanced presentation of facts.
February 22, 2021 – West Bend, WI – Proposed curriculum for 6th graders in the West Bend School District will be available for review this week, starting February 22 – February 26.

Continuing ideological leftist porn.
Ah, the giant topics of settled science. The sick part is that I would not have problems with any pf those topics in a critical thinking classroom environment. They are only scary as programming topics.
