Climate Town addresses fossil-fuel-industry propaganda aimed at students

The latest episode of Climate Town, the Youtube channel that offers to "examine climate change in a way that doesn't make you want to eat a cyanide pill," is devoted to "The Brainwashing of America's School Children." Host Rollie Williams amusingly discusses the history of fossil-fuel-industry propaganda aimed at students, with a focus on material from the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board, such as "Petro Pete" and "Lab Time with Leo." "Making the Grade?" — the 2020 study of the treatment of climate change in state science standards from NCSE and the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund — is discussed (at 20:30), and NCSE's Deputy Director Glenn Branch is thanked for his assistance toward the end (at 27:20).
