Background

Holly Swanson is a conservative author and political activist who has described herself as a “leading authority on the undisclosed political agenda of the environmental, now green, movement.”¹“Inconvenient Lie Day 2 – Holly Swanson,” YouTube video uploaded by user Dumb Bandana on September 11, 2017. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog.

Swanson’s work has focused on criticizing the environmental movement, which she has compared to communism, claiming it is a “political movement” that is “not about the environment.”²“Inconvenient Lie Day 2 – Holly Swanson,” YouTube video uploaded by user Dumb Bandana on September 11, 2017. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog. She has stated that environmentalists are “targeting” and “indoctrinating” schoolchildren, and claimed that “schools are on the verge of a complete takeover.”³“American Youth Indoctrinated Under Pretense of Environmental Education,” YouTube video uploaded by user Millennial Millie on December 18, 2016.

“Climate change is no longer framed in physical or environmental terms, but as a social, ethical and political issue…[B]y framing climate and by promoting consensus science, rather than factual science… there’s still a strong and heavy debate going on into the severity of what the climate issue, how it will impact, but it is being taught as fact in our schools.”

“The scientific debate on global warming is far from over. Prominent scientists have changed their position based on evidence. After dire predictions about global warming did not come to pass and false claims were exposed, the environmental movement renamed the issue ‘climate-change’. Climate-change is a general idea that can be twisted to impose more pieces of the Green agenda in schools and elsewhere.”

“‘Education for Sustainability’ is a political tool to change the cultural, religious, social, economic and political structure of our nation. This is not common knowledge because these programs have been presented as nonpartisan environmental education – but this is not accurate.

Holly Swanson appeared in Marc Morano’s 2020 documentary Climate Hustle 2: Rise of the Climate Monarchy, produced by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT). In the film, Swanson accused the environmental movement of “teaching children to be against their parents as well as our political system.”³¹Climate Hustle 2: Rise of the Climate Monarchy. CFACT/ CDR Communications, Inc., 2020

In the film, Swanson said that the goal of the environmental movement was to “use alleged nonpartisan environmental education to politically indoctrinate America’s children. And then, again, graduate a nation of obedient voters who will vote to impose this on the American people.” She described this as “eco-child abuse, pure and simple.”

“The communist model of education uses every subject, every day, and the entire school experience to reinforce communist beliefs and values.

“Now, this is what happening in America’s schools under the pretense of environmental education, and specifically education for sustainability programs, specifically climate change education, specifically environmental literacy, and other politicized instruction that is designed to train our children to adopt future beliefs in the present.

“In other words, teach them to be vegetarians now so they won’t question that agenda in the future. Teach them that private property is a hazard to the environment so they will accept the abolishment of private property, which is communism. Teach them that they need to walk, bike, or skateboard so they will accept the end to the fossil fuel era.

“Teach them this, scare them to death that if they do not conform and comply with this demand, they are not only creating a dead planet, they are putting themselves, their own life in jeopardy.”⁴⁰“Inconvenient Lie Day 2 – Holly Swanson,” YouTube video uploaded by user Dumb Bandana on September 11, 2017.
