Heritage Foundation Exposes Educational Publishing Giant’s “Anti-Racism Pledge” Pushing CRT in Schools
- Pearson, the world’s largest education-content publisher made a commitment to "embedding anti-racism" in teaching and learning, an upcoming Heritage Foundation report shows.
- Policy guidance from Pearson amounts to a pledge to incorporate critical race theory into its educational material, like textbooks for K-12 classes. Pearson wants consumers of its materials to be social justice warriors.
- The report recommends Congress investigate material Pearson plans to create for the federal workforce and that state lawmakers require education officials to review the publisher’s content and reject any that violate discrimination laws or apply CRT.

‘Catch and Release’ Has Become ‘Greet and Release’
- Since President Biden took office, the number of illegal aliens encountered at our southwestern border has exceeded all records.
- Yet the Biden Administration is boasting that border encounters have plummeted due to its supposedly tough “Comprehensive Plan to Manage the Border After Title 42.” But this plan is nothing more than a smoke screen for the administration’s true objective: Let in as many aliens as possible and punt them into backlogged asylum and court systems — in most cases without proper GPS tracking or scheduled court appearances.
- One thing is clear: Cartels and human traffickers are aware of the Biden administration’s true agenda. They will continue to make billions from bringing millions more economic migrants — including families and young children — to the border, while harming them along the way.
- Congress needs to defund the administration’s open-borders operations, increase Immigration and Customs Enforcement resources to find and remove the released masses, and consider legislation that will bring true and lasting border security to America.

Is the Biden White House Secretly Reviving Its Assault on Concerned Parents?
- President Joe Biden's White House appears to have coordinated with the Southern Poverty Law Center to attack concerned parents in the same way it did with the National School Boards Association.
- The Justice Department backtracked on its 2021 memo urging the investigation of concerned parents, but the Left and the Biden administration seem to be gearing up for another round.
- Two days after the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) released its “hate map” and list of “hate groups” for 2022, the White House on June 8 released a strategy “to Protect LGBTQI+ Communities.”
- The White House appeared to use the SPLC’s terminology in its new strategy only two days after the SPLC released its updated list of “hate groups.”
