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.
