New School Program Will Exploit School Kids For Private Financial Gain
The Washington Post has announced that a new company, BusRadio, plans to install radio equipment in school buses as a way to target corporate advertising using school children as a captive audience. The company's first pilot project is in Massachusetts, and is scheduled to begin in September, targeting children as young as five. Click Here to read the Washington Post article.
After Massachusetts, BusRadio plans to go nationwide with their program. Children riding school buses will be forced to listen to the music and commercial ads while on the bus.
The primary purpose of the BusRadio is to make money for their company. And the way they plan to do that is to sell their captive audience to advertisers.
School children should not be used as a vehicle to sell commercial advertising. This program needs to be stopped before it is started.
A new study just released by Rand Corporation shows a definite link between the lyrics in music aimed at youth and an increase in sexual activity. Click Here to read the study.

Send the email to Margaret Spellings, U.S. Secretary of Education, and to Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. Ask them to stop this exploiting of school children for the personal financial gain of BusRadio.
Because this program, if allowed to go forward, will eventually be on school busses nationwide, help us to alert others by forwarding this email to friends and family. |
