1. Jordan Adams formed @Vermilion_Edu a few months ago
Adams, who previously worked at Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian institution, has no degrees in education
But he's now charging school boards $125/hour to "audit" K-12 curriculum
It's wild

2. So far, Adams has one known client: the Pennridge School District in Pennsylvania.
On June 20, Adams delivered his initial recommendations to the school board.
This apparently reflected about 60 hours of work, costing the school district $7500.

3. The existing first grade social studies curriculum focuses on "Rules and Responsibilities," "Geography," and "Important People and Places."
Adams instead proposed that 6- and 7-year-olds learn "American History: 1492-1787" and "World History: Ancient Near East."

4. Adams did not discuss how teachers could provide instruction on nearly 300 years of American history to students still learning to read and tie their shoes
Adams spent less than 90 seconds covering his proposal to completely restructure social studies for Grades 1 through 5.

5. Adams said the district needed to "ensure all texts are free from sexualized content that may best left to the home and to parent discretion." He said books in the existing 7th grade curriculum would "raise questions" about why books with "sexualized" content were selected"
6. One book singled out by Adams is War and Watermelon by award-winning author Rich Wallace
Adams focuses on a few snippets of sexualized content that he apparently believes is inappropriate for middle school students. Two of the passages involved girls who weren't wearing bras
