Monsanto is an evil company. It ranks right up there with WalMart, Facebook, Phillip Morris, and PennEast. It produces Roundup and controls GMO soybeans specially developed for Monsanto chemicals.
Monsanto also funds the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education program that grants local school districts $10,000 to $25,000 to design a program that enhances STEM education. You go to <GrowRuralEducation.com> to apply.
Should you do this? Of course you should. In your application, however, explain that your program will emphasize the dangers of the chemicals, the pesticides, the insecticides, and the moral issues of using genetic engineering to enrich corporations. If Monsanto is willing to fund the program, take the money. (Or you could do all that, and not tell them. Why not?)
See “Monsanto Fund Seeks Schools for Rural Education Program Grants,” Lancaster Farming, (24 March 2018), p. B-7.
Good advice for those who may be conflicted. Considering yesterday's youth movement, more and more young folks (we hope) will take advantage of this program and speak up and speak out. May Monsanto be hoist on [their] own petard.
