Dear Daniel, Did you see our latest video about teaching climate change denial in our schools? If not, join the 456,925 people who saw this video and watch it here: http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/heartlandvideo Tens of thousands signed our petition telling an oil-and-coal-funded organization to cease and desist its plans to send a "curriculum" about climate denial into our children's classrooms. And you shared this powerful video that is spreading far and wide. But the fight isn't over. The Heartland Institute is growing more aggressive in pushing this curriculum. I need to ask for your help. Donate $5 to help The Climate Reality Project fight to keep paid-for climate denial out of our schools. Oil and coal companies will stop at nothing to deny that climate change is a reality. Recently, it was revealed that the Heartland Institute -- an ideological group with industry funding -- wants teachers to be their mouthpieces for climate denial. This is simply unacceptable. Our science classrooms should teach science. What they shouldn't do is spread a fossil fuel company's propaganda. Fortunately, Corey Husic, a high school student in Pennsylvania, asked the Heartland Institute to cease and desist its plans for a climate denial curriculum. Nearly 30,000 of you joined Corey by adding your names to his request. And here's what's most important: We need to make sure the Heartland Institute's plans are widely publicized all over the country -- so that not a single teacher is fooled into adopting their so-called "curriculum." That's why we created a powerful video, "Heartland Department of Education," to bring their agenda into the light of day. Our video has already received widespread attention and nearly 460,000 views. Climate change is real and happening now. But we can't get to work on solving this crisis if the deniers succeed in spreading their distortions, mistruths and propaganda -- into the media, into our daily life, and into our children's schools. Today, I'm asking you to help us keep up the fight. Contribute $5 to help The Climate Reality Project fight back against well-funded interests that deny the science of climate change. Thanks for all you do, Maggie L. Fox President and CEO The Climate Reality Project
