This copy-paste of the first three paragraphs of a stunning item in the Portland Oregon Tribune is to emphasize it's an actual article from a real news source.

Here's what we have. In Portland's public schools, kids will be taught only the theory of man-made global warming. Contrary materials shall be removed. We can safely assume this will be policed, all of which reveals 'man-made global warming' isn't as compelling as they'd have us believe. Think of it. Intentional ignorance, structured and enforced. Mandatory induction into something called "climate justice activism". In an American school system. In the 21st Century. Every bust of Galileo just shed a tear.

The Resolution cited in the article is two pages of cloying drivel that challenges gastric continence. It offers this reason to "get rid of textbooks or other materials that cast doubt on whether climate change is occurring and that the activity of human beings is responsible":

All Portland Public Schools students should develop confidence and passion when it comes to making a positive difference in society, and come to see themselves as activists and leaders for social and environmental justice—especially through seeing the diversity of people around the world who are fighting the root causes of climate change; and it is vital that students reflect on local impacts of the climate crisis, and recognize how their own communities and lives are implicated.

Get rid of textbooks that "cast doubt"? Recruit kids into the cause? What kind of outfit is this? Wait. We've seen this before. It ended badly. Ah yes, here it is:

1933. Germany. Book burning
