Annie Leonard Project Funded With Your Tax Dollars!

I just found out that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Environmental Protection Agency are funding Annie Leonard's project called Loop Scoops. The cartoon is geared to 6 to 9 year-olds, and indoctrinates them to promote anti-capitalist values.

It is bad enough that Annie's work is factually inaccurate. It is worse that her projects are in the schools. But, why are our tax dollars funding more of her Leftist garbage?

I previously debunked her video titled, "The Story of Stuff." That four-part series can be seen below along with other links for references. "The Story of Cosmetics," is either dishonest, or Annie is unaware of an FDA study that debunks most of what she claims.

@emongu1 No, its wrong for brainwashing kids and telling kids that their playdoh will kill everyone on Earth. Fuck Anni Leonard.

[UndergroundCar2nist]

@lightsinthesky246 When did he say being environmentally friendly was wrong?

[TheDerpable]

Haha Annie Lenord speaks up for the EPA in her videos and then gets paid by the EPA to make cartoons?

[TheDavoo]

That is repulsive. Annie Leonard is a wallowing shit.

[Snapple8912]

Hahaha this is one of the most ridiculous videos I've seen, I can't believe people listen to this crap and believe it

@trinityfreed Teaching kids that corporations are evil monsters bent on causing the destruction of the Earth is a little more than teaching preservation of resources. Faith in the religion of global warming leads to one purpose - that everyone must be forced to comply with whatever the global warmers say because if they don't the sky will fall. So as long as the propaganda is propaganda you support - that's OK. I know, that's the viewpoint of most liberals.

@danndan6 I never said I encourage kids to destroy their life you dumb ignorant fuck . Get the hell out of here, we don't want your bullshit on here. The discussion ends here.

[danndan6]

@TheChristmasFan oh right, you're the type of person who encourages kids to value themselves on their appearance, to encourage them to eat junk food and encourage them to pollute their environment? at least you're coming from a different mindset. what is so wrong with wanting the next generation to be more environmentally and socially conscious than our own? and of course they're brainwashed to consume. modern advertising is ingenius beyond belief. anorexia didn't occur 60 decades ago!!!

[TheChristmasFan]

@danndan6 That doesn't happen, show me adequate proof that people are brainwashing kids into thinking that, guess what? you can't. Its called encouragement, not brainwashing. Kids have the choice of eating right and exercising. By the way, who the fuck comments to something that was posted 7 months ago. TARD!

[danndan6]

@TheChristmasFan what about brainwashing kids to make them think that they need to be skinny to be liked or that they will get good emotions by eating unhealthy food? tard

[danndan6]

You are the perfect example of a tard. she is trying to promote good health and environmental responsibility yet you are more concerned with this going to schools than dominos pizza. but hey, you would like dominos pizza in schools because then they get fat and need to spend money on health care which promotes GDP. you tard

Does anyone find Brad to be kind of stupid and annoying? God I went to grade school with kids like him. Also about the game he talks about, that sounds like a terrible video game, I'd love to see its fictional Metacritic score.
