Another complaint that was made in the article was that the program was an
insidious infiltration of corporate marketing into our schools.

Perhaps if our federal and state governments stopped telling us they are
pro-education and started proving to us (with their money) they are
pro-education, we would not need corporate sponsors to step in and help out.
Insidious? I'd say more like necessary to make ends meet.
