HB4895 directs every public school to provide instruction on “climate change,” beginning with the 2026-27 school year.

The Senate passed HB4895 on May 23, 2024, by a vote of 36 to 16. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education, let alone efforts to indoctrinate children with the hoax of “climate change,” is not the role of government. Education is the responsibility of a child’s parents or family, and this bill is nothing but a United Nations’ Agenda 2030-inspired effort, sponsored by neo-Marxist globalist elites, to alter or destroy the American way of life though a “long march through the institutions.” The best “school choice,” by far, is for parents to choose not to place their child’s education in the hands of the state. Educational and economic freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to furnish their hard-earned tax dollars to fund all that now entails a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system.
