Concerning a student's letter, written in opposition to a housing development, which runs on like this...

I'm a 6th grader at Los Coyotes School....

It's not a good choice at all to build one or more homes on that piece of life giving land that is trying so hard to live! If I were one of those plants, that has no choice but to give oyxgen, I would hate what is going on would you. It's like a battle by which humans have the greatest advantage ... yet they (the plants) sacrifice their lives just to clean those toxins! Would you do that for someone who is trying to kill you and take your home!? Probably not.

... Laer comments:

Note how Jeremy personalizes nature -- the land is trying to live, plants sacrifice their lives for us, and so forth? More has happened to Jeremy than simply being indoctrinated with radical environmentalism; he has been converted to a naturalism religion.

Nicely prepared to buy into the Gaia hypothesis, isn't he?

I noticed something similar elsewhere -- apparenly PETA has been allowed to design classroom curricula for children in public schools. Here's how one of their web sites, targeted at children, tries to indoctrinate children:

Does the thought of chowing down on one of your friends give you the creeps? How about eating something that may as well have been dunked in the toilet? Well, this is the place for you! This site is for kids who care about animals and don’t want to eat them.

Yup, no real difference between human beings and pets.

I don't mind the vegetarianism. But I do mind indoctrinating children with a philosophy which will lead him to conclude that it's better to kill one human being than two mice -- because one is less than two, you know?
