This may be one reason education is failing, but hey, don’t tell Annie Leonard that.  Watch this “wonderful” video – The Story of Stuff (funded by the Tides Foundation) and see if you would rate this as education or indoctrination.

Wow, talk about drinking the kool aid. If your school shows this, call the school office.  This isn’t education, it is indoctrination and it doesn’t belong in the classroom.  Not only that there are huge problems with the “facts” it is giving.
