As someone who worked for WE Charity in the past, I cannot believe it's taken the press, school boards, and the general public so long to start questioning this charity/business.
What part of "let's put kids in stadiums and blast them with corporate messaging" seemed normal?

Exhibit A:
(too bad they've just hidden the video. I guess someone finally realized how disturbing it is to see a mining CEO leading a stadium full of kids in a chant, in support of his mining operations) https://twitter.com/AmigoJor/status/1279186426811146241?s=20

Fun fact: we had a TELUS manager working INSIDE our office, to edit/approve our messages to kids. You know, just to make sure the charity's communications were on brand for TELUS.
