Corporate Influence on Education
This chapter examines the historical impact of the oil industry on educational curricula in the U.S., particularly during the 1950s through the 1970s. It highlights how industry-funded programs like the Magic Barrel sought to promote fossil fuel dependence as a part of American identity, effectively integrating corporate messaging into school resources. The chapter also discusses the challenges faced by educators, such as underfunding, which allowed industry-sponsored materials to gain traction despite the growing concerns about climate change.
