Board of Regents mandates ‘climate’ curricula as NY kids still struggle with math and reading

The New York Board of Regents has mandated the inclusion of a new climate science curriculum in high schools, despite ongoing concerns about students' proficiency in reading and math. Each year, many students graduate with inadequate skills in these fundamental subjects, raising questions about the educational priorities of the state. Critics argue that the focus on climate science may divert attention from addressing these basic educational deficiencies.
