A year from today, public schools across the country could be celebrating Endangered Species Day.

A group of Senators have drafted a resolution that would proclaim May 18 Endangered Species Day and encourage schools and businesses to raise awareness of imperiled animals.

Sponsored by a host of Democrats and moderate Republicans such as Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), Frank Lautenberg (D., N.J.), and Olympia Snowe (R., Maine), the bill would encourage Americans "to observe Endangered Species Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities."

Specifically, the bill would nudge schools "to spend at least 30 minutes on Endangered Species Day teaching and informing students about threats to endangered species around the world." It would also encourage business and private land-owners to collaborate with schools in preparing educational materials.

It is unclear if that teaching will include information on the Obama administration and Democrats' green energy policies that are killing endangered species.

The Free Beacon’s Andrew Stiles previously reported on how the Obama Administration’s "mean green killing machines" are decapitating golden eagles, threatening hundreds of baby tortoises, and disrupting protected kit fox populations in California.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service is proposing to loosen regulations prohibiting the killing of bald eagles for the benefit of renewable energy companies.

Bird enthusiasts are also calling on the Obama administration to repeal an obscure mining regulation that is resulting in the deaths of a million or more songbirds a year.
