The biggest problem I have with this is not that Mann's science might be wrong, but that the methods being used to discredit the science are anything but scientific. We have entered a scary, new era in Western thought where conformity of thought is valued above all else, and anyone who dares advocate a position which could be considered controversial or offensive is railroaded into silence by whatever means necessary.

They they'll get taken away by CPS.
Seriously, federal civil rights lawsuit.
Start with subpoena of the entire school districts disciplinary records for the last 50 years. The photocopy costs alone will have them begging to settle.
