Why is the renewables industry allowed to sponsor political advertising in schools and call it...

 Programming and "pre-bunking" our children to vote Green — Boosting profits for years to come!

And you thought school textbooks were non-political…

Imagine the uproar if a coal company spent thousands of dollars to put lesson plans in schools to teach our children how to run activist lobby groups to get better subsidies and tax breaks for coal miners? Imagine these lessons even include instruction on how to fundraise, and ways to counter the anti-coal "misinformation and disinformation" ?

Indeed the ACCC banned the Commonwealth Bank's Dollarmites program from Queensland schools because it contained "sophisticated marketing tactics". But it wasn't teaching children to write activist campaigns to lobby for tax breaks and subsidies for bankers.

Instead Mike Cannon Brookes, Mr $30 billion, has set up the Boundless Earth charity with a $15 to $30 million budget which generously sponsors a group called Cool org. They write "scripts for teachers" and tell the kiddies to walk to school or ride their bike while (as Tony Thomas reminds us) Mr Cannon-Brookes travels in his Bombardier Twin-jet.

It's no tinker-toy project, already reaching 2.5 million Australian kids each year and 200,000 teachers. It's a full on indoctrination unit.

This is the reason conservatives get wiped out in elections. One side have a multilevel war machine propaganda unit, staffed and funded with millions of dollars and the other side send their kids to those schools (and then pay for the schools with their taxes).

The Cool.org charity, drafts the scripts for teachers. Cool CEO Thea Stinear claims that Cool "helps young people cut through the BS. It helps them spot what's real. What could be more important in this day and age?" Jason Kimberley of the multi-millionaire Just Jeans family set up Cool in 2008, catering to pre-school, primary, secondary, private and public schools with endorsement by departmental and school authorities.[3]

Cool, in fact, runs a parallel universe within the school system. Well over 17 million kids to date have imbibed at least one Cool lesson, delivered by the nearly 200,000 teachers who have signed on to Cool. Believe it or not, 92% of Australian schools have delivered Cool materials to kids. I've been recording this Cool educational empire for years, hereherehere and here.

Their skill building includes seven units of learning on misinformation or disinformation. In Science Over Skepticism they investigate things that "influence the adoption of scientific knowledge" — like presumably learning that "The ScienceTM"  is done by consensus…

Tony Thomas writes:

Cool douses kids from pre-school upwards in a waterfall of green-left woke-ism and renewables advocacy, purportedly "building a sustainable and just world for all." As a Cool member, I see exactly what Cool offers teachers and kids, but much of the Cool materials are paywalled to outsiders. Education was captured by the left decades ago, and school and department authorities have no qualms about kids imbibing green activism from third-party providers.[5]
