Schools: Staff wrong to join Lincoln High climate strike

Re: “Lincoln High teachers join Tacoma youth strike cause,” (TNT, 12/7).

According to columnist Matt Driscoll, adult teachers (“more than a dozen”) joined Lincoln students to draw attention to man-made climate change. This is fraught with highly exaggerated non-evidence.

The principal and a social studies teacher are said to be joined by a Tacoma Public Schools assistant superintendent and are evidently supportive of the latest non-educational movement.

The closest thing Tacoma has to man-made environmental disaster are homeless people defecating in the streets and parks and accumulating garbage that attracts rats and disease. The same people who promote the climate-change myth can’t even figure out this local concern.

Hopefully the majority of teachers are fulfilling their responsibilities by teaching kids facts rather than man-made global-warming propaganda.
