Principal defends inviting BP and NOAA to educate her students about oil spill

This is crazy, now they are trying to brainwash our children with had happened and it's impact on the planet and even the children. They should not be able to come anywhere near our children with their non-sense. We already know the government and BP were and are lying to us adults, now they are doing the same to our much more gullible and naive children.

We can't trust that NOAA or BP will tell the truth on the matter and now they are trying to cut the parents out to get to our children. Just this act alone is suspicious and in my opinion, indicative of their tactics to decieve. Our children need to know the full dangers of what had happened and what is happening and I'm almost certain that they aren't going to get that from either NOAA or BP.

Its a low act to brainwash kids without allowing parents to interject.
I guess they couldnt convince adults so they thought they would get a head start on the next gen.
Guess theres no lenghts these evil big oil companies will go to.
Dosnt give you much confidence in the legitemcy of what there sayin if they have to preach it to naive school children.

Ah, young minds. There's no better place to plant your ideas and inject large amounts of bull in hopes that they take root. I hope their parents de-"educated" them as soon as they got home. All this seems to be a PR stunt, trying to redeem their tarnished image. You can't polish a turd.

Wow. This article should be getting a LOT more attention than it is. Not only are they actively lying to these children, but the teacher and pricnipal appear too stupid to even see it.

Just.... #####ers.

Raw Story pointed out one of the most ostensibly questionable quotes reported in the Tri-Parish Times article: A student asks NOAA science support coordinator Gary Ott why everybody is blaming BP. Ott responds: “When you have a spill and it's going on day after day and you think it's going to affect your life and your ability to fish and have a job, you feel helpless and you get angry. That's what people do when they feel helpless, and who are they going to blame? They're going to blame someone. So, one company that stood up was BP because they had interest in that well, and they took the heat."
