HAMMOND - Governor Jeff Landry responded to multiple submissions from students by blasting a Hammond grammar school teacher and current state education system on social media Tuesday.

The submissions Landry shared were sent in on Feb. 7. They are as follows:

"My teacher says climate change is bad , sorry to bother you."
"my teacher made me sent this to you it for a grade , add more vet for cat and dog . and stop make power plant because it hurt earth."
"idk my teacher is making me do this but I mean you need to fix the whole cancer ally thing"

In his message, Landry said the teacher required students to email the governor's office regarding climate change.

"As I stated in my inaugural address, our education system is too focused on indoctrination instead of education.
Look at the emails we received from students at a school in Hammond. A teacher required students to email our office to complain about climate change. It is NEVER the job of a teacher to push a political agenda. We are committed to bringing common sense education back to our classrooms!"
