The New Jersey Board of Education adopted K-12 standards for math and
language arts that include climate change education Wednesday, according
to New Jersey Spotlight News.
In 2020, the state became the first in the nation to approve adding
climate change content to its standards in order to foster a new
generation of “students that can analyze, question, interpret, to think
independently, and bring critical deduction” to the “burgeoning industries
of the future green economy,” according to the new standards. The board,
which had previously included the content in classes on technology,
health, science and world history, approved the changes in math and
language arts by a 6 to 4 vote, according to New Jersey Spotlight News.
“These standards are really meaningful because it gives a way to teach,”
Elaine Bobrove, a board member, told New Jersey Spotlight News. “You need
to have some kind of an example so students can feel like ‘I’m learning
something. I’m doing something,’ that there is a meaning, that it’s not
just numbers, it’s not just sounds of words.”

The standards now include small green symbols that mark areas where
students can find “opportunities to integrate specific examples of climate
change education provided by additional age-appropriate resources.” These
notes are supposed to help educators create additional units to discuss
climate change and create “authentic learning experiences integrating a
range of perspectives.”
The majority of the public commenters that spoke ahead of the board’s vote
indicated their support of the changes, but some felt that the content was
not necessary for every single subject and should stick to related classes
in science, according to New Jersey Spotlight News.
Not all board members were pleased by the changes, specifically Andrew
Mulvihill, vice president of the board, who raised concerns about adding
politics to the “board’s business,” according to New Jersey Spotlight
News.
“I don’t think we should be teaching subjects that have nothing to do with
math and English in math and English,” Mulvihill said. “This idea of
teaching climate change in every class, in every subject matter, it kind
of smells of indoctrination.”
The board did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News
Foundation’s request for comment.
