BP accused of 'insidious' influence on UK education through Science Museum links

I'm so with BP on this one they're not trying to brainwash kids or anything! The fact that they've got a say in what's taught is just good corporate citizenship, right? I mean, who doesn't love a well-funded partnership between a respected museum and a major energy company? It's all about promoting STEM education and making it accessible to everyone. And if some folks don't like BP's stance on climate change, that's their prerogative, not the Science Museum's problem. I think it's awesome that teachers are getting a say in what they're teaching, and if that includes discussing the pros and cons of fossil fuels, then so be it!

I'm low-key shocked by this news . Like, I get that industries want to influence education for their own benefits, but BP's involvement is on another level . It's wild to think that a company with such a questionable stance on climate change is shaping the minds of our future scientists and engineers .

I mean, what's next? Are they gonna start teaching kids how to extract oil from tar pits in school? It's not just about the money, it's about the values. I feel like we're already losing our way on climate change when corporations are getting involved in education that could help us transition away from fossil fuels .

And don't even get me started on the Science Museum's denials . If they really do have control over their training and resources, then why are there so many teachers speaking out about the issue? It's like they're trying to hide something .

This is a major concern for our future, guys . We need to make sure that STEM education isn't just about getting jobs in industries that perpetuate climate change, but about preparing kids for a sustainable future .

this is really worrying me, you know? I mean, who's gonna teach kids about climate change when they're being influenced by BP all over the place? It's not just about what they say, it's about who's paying them to say it. And let's be real, BP isn't exactly on the right side of this whole climate change thing.

I don't get why they can just buy their way into shaping educational content for young minds. It's like, we're trying to prepare kids for a future that might not even exist if we keep ignoring climate change. And now we've got these companies coming in and profiting off of it? It's just wrong.

I'm not surprised more teachers are speaking out against this, though. We need our educators to be able to educate us about the facts, not the corporate interests of BP or whoever else is behind this deal.

I'm really worried about this. It seems like BP is getting way too involved in shaping our kids' educational content . They're basically buying their way into the STEM game, and it's not right. I mean, who would want to trust a company that's so against climate change? It's like they think they can just pay for influence and get away with it . The Science Museum is trying to defend itself, but from what I've seen, there's no denying the connection between BP and Enterprising Science. This whole thing reeks of corporate greed . Can't we trust our educational institutions to teach kids about science without a fossil fuel agenda?

It's crazy how much power BP has over UK STEM education . Like, I get that they wanna support education and all, but not at the cost of science and progress on climate change . If a company like tobacco is toxic to our health, then shouldn't fossil fuels be toxic to our planet? It's all about priorities and accountability . The Science Museum needs to step up and address these concerns ASAP . Can we trust them to put the kids' education first when it comes to this topic?

Ugh this is crazy ! I don't get how a big oil company like BP can just go into an educational thing and start influencing what teachers are taught. It's not fair to the kids, you know? If they're learning about science and stuff, they should be learning from people who care about the planet, not companies that don't want to protect it . And now I'm hearing that BP has like total control over some of these courses... that's just wrong . It's like, can't we just have unbiased education for once?
