Andrew Bolt: Class captives learn to write for their audience | Herald Sun
ANOTHER week, and another student tells me of a teacher who's turned preacher instead.

This student, a very honest boy, tells me he was asked on Tuesday to give a summary on global warming.

Naturally, he included one plain fact: the planet hadn't warmed since 1998, according to satellite measurements.

Check with Britain's Hadley Centre. Or with Dr Roy Spencer, US head of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on NASA's Aqua satellite.

No, no, no, said the teacher, brought in by the school to give a few lessons on learning techniques. You mustn't believe such a thing. That was just put out by that Andrew Bolt, and, ha!, he was in a room of his own.

"Really?" replied my son.

You're right. Nothing my son won't just laugh over.
