The First Day of School

Drilled

About this episode

Long before climate change appeared on the scene, fossil fuel companies were in America's classrooms, shaping young minds. Dharna Noor and Amy Westervelt explore how Big Oil got into the education game, why it worked so well for them, and how the industry limits how Americans are allowed to think about the environment and the economy.
