Subject: re: Coal Curriculum Called Unfit for 4th Graders

To the Editor:
I applaud the initiative of the groups opposing the coal curriculum.
But shouldn't they be aiming higher? Why shouldn't the coal industry
have as free a hand in shaping public school curricula as it has in
writing the federal regulation of it's own practices. The kids
deserve a fair and unbiased education on energy policy as on all
things. They are going to grow into the citizens who have to wrest
control of our Energy Policies from the interests of the few,
including Big Coal. Our Congress has utterly failed in that task.
