Students attending schools under the Halton District School Board, the same school board behind the infamous teacher with prosthetic breasts, asked students in the region to wear sweaters to school so that the temperature in the buildings could be turned down by two degrees in hopes of “preventing climate change.”
“On National Sweater Day, WWF asks Canadians to turn down thermostats by two degrees Celsius at home, at school and at work to highlight the role that energy conservation plays in preventing climate change,” an email to parents reads.
“Our school buildings will be a little chillier on February 2, so we are asking that all students wear or bring a sweater to school,” it continues.
[I’d rather we brought back disco from the 1970s rather than Jimmy Carter’s “malaise” speech on energy policy. YMMV. — Ed]
