Every middle school students should learn about climate change.
The Kutztown School District recently halted a middle school reading program after receiving complaints about a book’s focus on climate change. That should concern us all.
The book, “Two Degrees” by Alan Gratz, a popular author for young readers, was to be read by every Kutztown student in grades six through eight followed by discussions and then a meeting with the author. The book combines facts about climate change with the fictional stories of young people facing the impacts of what two degrees of warming will do to our planet.
A Kutztown School District board member raised concerns about pushing a politically charged book about climate change and questioned if the other side would be presented.What’s the “other side” of climate change and science? If today’s students aren’t educated about the climate changes they will face in their lifetimes, then both their parents and the school district are guilty of not telling them the real facts about their future.
We can only hope that every middle schooler in Kutztown and elsewhere will run out and find a copy of “Two Degrees,” read it, and discuss it with everyone they know. Because this is their future.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
