WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaked documents from a prominent conservative think tank show how it sought to teach schoolchildren skepticism about global warming and planned other behind-the-scenes tactics using millions of dollars in donations from big corporate names.
More than $14 million of the money used by the Chicago-based Heartland Institute would come from one anonymous man, according to the leaked documents prepared for a meeting of the group's board.

However, when they attempt to push a manufactured point of view which has poor if any corroboration on School Children?!? THAT just went over the line! I sincerely hope the Heartland Institute get their pants pulled down in public BIG TIME!
