Dane Wigington posted an “unscheduled diatribe” (his words) this week linking Common Core curriculum to geoengineering.

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.
