I'm in an education program that's preparing me to teach kids from kindergarten to grade six. My prof just encouraged me to use this video as a resource in science class.

Obviously I have some biases, but I feel like kids don't have the ability to think critically about a video like this one. On its own, to me, it might as well be a tool for indoctrination. Obviously there are steps that kids and their families can take to reduce their ecological footprints, but do we really need the commentary about Bush's reaction to 9/11 or a comment on wages at Wal-Mart?

What are your thoughts?
