Title

"Operation Green Out" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin criticizing a newspaper ad by a conspiracy theory group called Operation Green Out that avocated against environmental sustainability education for Oregon children. AuCoin explains how Holly Swanson, the founder of the group, argued that sustainability education was brainwashing kids, hijacking education for future citizens to be in favor of the so-called International Green Party Movement. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2002-2004.
