In reply to the discussion: UNBELIEVABLE: A Bill in Kansas to Outlaw Sustainability [View all]TheProgressive
(1,656 posts)31. This is rightwing rage against UN Agenda 21
Agenda 21 has 'sustainable development' in it. But, you see, Glen Beck and
others like him saw an opportunity to capitalize on it. He and others write
books on how Agenda 21 will allow the 'government to take your property' and
other crap like that.
The Tea Party and republicans in general, being who they are (highly propagandized and conned
out of their money) invade state, city, and county legislators to enact anti-agenda 21 laws.
It is total bull.
They tried this in my heavy-republican county but the supervisors did not go for it!

No, I'm saying it's naive to dismiss the danger because some kooks are wrong about something else.
