The Story of the Future of America

This debate, as many debates in politics, is, in large part, a debate over the future of the country. I say that because this debate (as covered by the articles) really centers around children and what is presented to them in their schools.

In the video and these articles, we see two competing visions of the future America. There is the America of Annie Leonard, an America in step with the needs and dreams of the rest of the world, an America that is resourceful and respectful of the planet: an America building a better future for the generations around the world.

But, that is not how the Heritage Foundation sees this video; and perhaps, the environmental movement as a whole. They fear, an America that has compromised, downgraded, and my very well be socialist: an America that has thrown away all that our ancestors worked so hard to built us.
