Summary

The March 2012 Beaver Beacon says the Community School did not sponsor or pay for Guy McPherson’s presentation and intended students to evaluate his claims using critical-thinking skills. It also announces a planned climate-change presentation by Cheri Leech of Raven Hill Discovery Center.

Evidence limits

The article records the school’s stated intent; it does not establish that the follow-up presentation occurred.
