Some states in the South have become controversial for making Algebra 2 one of their graduation requirements. Maryland is mandating LIBERALISM. Guess which state is probably headed for the greater economic calamity??
If I lived in Maryland, and if 'Environmental Literacy' was more than just an exam my son had to take and, presumably, easily pass... I would, in all honesty, move. I couldn't stand the thought of such obvious liberal wackoism being forcefed into my child's still developing mind.
BTW, get a load of the quote in the final sentence of my excerpt. If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does!!
Maryland Adds Environmental Literacy in High Schools

Published June 27, 2011 | FoxNews.com
Maryland is the first state in the country to impose a new requirement to graduate from high school -- something called environmental literacy.
But what is that? That is the question State Senator J. B. Jennings is asking.
"What kind of education is it going to be?” he asks. “Is it going to be fact-based? Or is it going to be theory-based, which is usually politically, theory driven. And you can think, it's going to be about global warming or climate change."
Sarah Bodor of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation supports the initiative and says there is no mandate.
"People express concern about the content but what is important to know is that this new requirement doesn't actually mandate any content at all."
