The Glen Ridge Voice reported this week that Glen Ridge has signed a deal with Pepsi that will give the district $5,000 in exchange for an exclusive contract with Pepsi to put vending machines throughout the high school. The district will earn another $3,000 if 3,000 cases of soda are sold by the end of the year.
In addition to erecting a giant blow-up Pepsi can in front of the school, the school district has edited its mission statement to read:
In partnership with a
close-knit communityPepsi , the Glen Ridge Public Schools will provide each individual student witha motivational and highly challenging academic programpocket change in an atmosphere respectful of individual and culturaldifferencessoft-drink preferences, so that students canadvance their future education, contribute socially, and compete productivelyconsume enough sugar, sodium and caffeinein an ever-changing,to support an increasinglytechnologicalfinancially-strappedglobal societytax base.”
The stuff is poison.
This is a terrible message to send to the youth.
Pepsi is ‘poison’ ?
Yikes! You certainly *are* confused.
