This would make me suspicious too.

In West Virginia it is coal companies offering to send free materials on mountain top removal and seeing stuff from them written into suggested curriculum guides. Stuff like that.

That stuff isn't always bad, though. We all have our own agenda.
As long as their agenda doesn't conflict with the science or morality in any way- there should be no problem.
I looked over that website, but didn't find much that could tell me how accurate their information is...
Tried to view clips of their videos- but they require quicktime. Quicktime is nothing more than a mislabeled virus in my opinion and I'll have nothing to do with it so I couldn't assess the videos...
Even so, going over the terms and conditions and website- I can't say I have found much cause for concern myself... Though I do not blame you in the least for checking and rechecking
!
ETA: If feeling particularly motivated later- I may take one for the team and download a Quicktime Emulator and check out the videos.
