♲ @garrett@masto.a15a.co: Due to tax cuts and the rising costs of textbooks, some USA schools are receiving corporate sponsored education materials.

This is just as bad as you think it is.

A 1998 study by the Consumers Union found 80% of these materials to be biased.

The educational materials were found to have incomplete or “slanted” information that favored the sponsor’s products and views.
