Monsanto wants to use Hawaiian students' photos in ads after denying
their right to regulate GMOs and poisons in their environment

 (NaturalNews) Agribusiness giant Monsanto is pushing to use the photos
of students attending an elementary school in Hawaii but critics say the
effort appears aimed at propagandizing the increased use of the
company's pesticides.

As reported by Hawaii News Now,
there is now a plaque at the entrance to the office of Waialua
Elementary School in recognition of companies that assisted with a
project on campus; they include Monsanto Hawaii and three other
companies that donated funds to build a cultural garden on site.

"It's
not like we're trying to promote anybody," principal Scott Moore told
the local news service. "We just appreciate the help that they give us
and wanted to say thank you."

That's not all. Monsanto also
helped pay for the grade school's bicycle safety program. And now the
company has sent a form home with children seeking parental permission
to use their child's photo in the company's publications.

"I
think two things are most concerning to me, the first being the use of
the children's image in advertising. The second is the fact that they
say on the form that you're agreeing that every statement you make is
true. But they also have the ability to edit that statement," Colleen
Chapman, a local parent, said.
