Maryland Students Go Green....No Red, White and Blue!

Last month, the Maryland State Board of Education adopted a policy requiring students to exhibit "environmental lit- eracy" to graduate from high school. In other words, students will be required to take courses on such topics as "smart growth," conservation and, undoubtedly, the adverse effects of climate change. In his statement announcing the change, Gov. Martin O'Malley applauded the new requirement and remarked how important it is for our graduates to have "a keen understanding of and connection to the natural world."
