ABC GOP-mentuary - progress!
We’re making progress– Scholastic, Inc. originally was partnering with ABC to distribute classroom materials about “The Path to 9/11″. Apparently it had gone under their radar that this was a stealth right-wing hit piece until loads of people calling in to them over the past couple of days changed their minds:
Educational media giant Scholastic, Inc. announced it’s dropping its original classroom companion guides to a controversial new docudrama, and replacing them with materials stressing critical thinking and media literacy.
“After a thorough review of the original guide that we offered online to about 25,000 high school teachers, we determined that the materials did not meet our high standards for dealing with controversial issues,” said Dick Robinson, Chairman, President and CEO of Scholastic, in a press release.
Thank you, Scholastic! Now we have to keep the pressure on our local ABC station by letting their advertisers know what they’re supporting. Exile put together a great list here.
Well said.
