More shrill tantrums from the queen of global warming, Laurie David. The focus this time is on corporate support of the NSTA, particularly oil companies.To bolster her claims, she links to an NSTA site that she says proves her point; that NSTA is in the pockets of Big Oil.
From the website:
The perception created by the op-ed that NSTA has a conflict of interest in dealing with corporate America is misleading. This is a very serious issue to NSTA and science education. Like many organizations, NSTA does receive support from corporate America and other organizations (in FY06 total corporate support received by NSTA was 16.4% and total support from energy companies was 3.77%). Before we accept any funds from outside groups (corporate or otherwise), and as a condition of any support, we make it clear that NSTA is solely responsible for developing, directing, and implementing the programs we offer to teachers.
Oopsie, again...
Watching a famous "producer" lose all control of her boldily functions because she is trying to save a few bucks is hilarious, if it weren't so pathetic.
Give it up, Mrs. David. The only person in moneyed interest's pockets is you.
