Dane Wigington posted an “unscheduled diatribe” (his words) this week linking Common Core curriculum to geoengineering.
http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/...of-poisoning-the-perceptions-of-our-children/
It also appeared on Global Skywatch under the title “Weather Modification Normalization: The Last American Snowball.”

Essentially, Wigington and others are arguing that a grade school reading comprehension test is a form of indoctrination for our children.
Wigington in particular is incensed by the idea:
I found a number of examples of this test. Given the 2005 copyright date on Hi-Lo Passages to Build Reading Comprehension, it is clear that it predates Common Core by a number of years.
The passage in question was published by Scholastic Inc, a private company that provides teaching material.

In terms of content, looking at the passage, it seems more like a cautionary tale regarding global warming than a subtle endorsement of geoengineering.
Obviously, I cannot account for Dane Wigington’s vehemence, just his accuracy.

Inexcusable transgressions like those just outlined in the video cannot be overlooked. The public email contacts of responsible parties should be posted and displayed everywhere possible. Such people must be placed on notice that we, the populations of the world, are NOT OK with their behavior. They should also be put on notice that at some point in the near future the public will likely hold them legally and morally accountable as accomplices in the climate engineering assault by helping to cover the tracks of the perpetrators. In the meantime, protecting and properly educating our children is up to us. Do we inform them about what is occurring above their heads? Yes. Do we make clear to them that we are fighting for their future? Yes. Do we do everything in our power to provide them hope and the chance to be a child without an excessive burden? Yes.
