My letter to the Hillsborough County School Board re The Story of Stuff

I am a grandmother with 5 grandchildren in 3 different county elementary schools. I am concerned about the video "The Story of Stuff" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLBE5QAYXp8 & would like to know if this is being shown in Hillsborough County Schools & if so have you informed the parents so they could make a choice if they want their child to be indoctrinated in this slanted propaganda. Also, a counter film to this one is coming out. When it is released, will you be showing it also. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Also, my comment on Annie Leonard's blog regarding this film.

I have written my school board to see if they are showing this unfactual piece and if so that they either stop showing it OR that they offer an opt out for parents. You should get your facts straight before you try to influence small children's minds. I challenge you to produced actual facts for the various socialist propaganda your "film" is spewing. America is a wonderful country & you, although you have the right to say it, you do not have the right to go into public schools & preach your lies without parents being aware.
