The UK's largest education union, the National Education Union (NEU), has initiated a boycott of the Science Museum over its sponsorship with BP and Adani Green Energy, both linked to harmful environmental practices. The NEU argues that educators should reconsider school trips to the museum, emphasizing the moral implications of supporting organizations that contribute to climate change. Activists warn that allowing these companies to influence educational initiatives amounts to a grave disservice to students. The NEU is mobilizing educators to make a stand against what they view as greenwashing efforts by corporations.
Teachers should ask themselves whether they can, in good conscience, show their students an exhibition on the climate crisis influenced by those that are actively causing it.
Helping companies like Adani and BP to pull the wool over our eyes is not contributing to our children's education but is doing them a grave disservice.
As educators, it is our responsibility to resist the greenwashing and image laundering of those destroying our children's futures.
A boycott is one of the most passive political acts we can use to effect change.
