🚨NEW from @DefendingEd:

K-12 school districts across the country have implemented policies or plans that base the hiring and retention of teachers and staff on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

🧵Thread on the troubling findings…

Our report details how school districts are using ideological screening and race-based preferences in the hiring and retention processes.

We obtained the non-public information needed to compile the list through public records requests.
Common hiring priorities, often referred to as “culturally competency” or “cultural proficiency,” are used to justify the elimination of applicants who do not adhere to DEI and or social justice ideology. Image

🚨UPDATE: Emails FOIA’d by @DefendingEd from Mount Pleasant High School in Rhode Island show that the assistant principal knew she was raising money for human traffickers and was aware that student’s family was in danger.

🧵

https://t.co/7A8VOwkUW8 https://t.co/fTSI2rNEdrdefendinged.org/incidents/emai…

Nothing in the emails indicates that law enforcement was ever contacted. Rather, the assistant principal opted to try and fulfill the demands of the human traffickers:

“He only owes $2000 out of the $5000, but if he does not pay that by February 1, they will kill his family in… https://t.co/PGarfHf31ztwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Instead of focusing on addressing this matter, a school board member was angry about the PR nightmare it had turned into and wanted the school district push back against the “right-wing extremists” reporting on it.

💣REPORT: Corporate America is leveraging environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards to turn K-12 students into political activists.

@DefendingEd has all the details. 🧵

defendinged.org/investigations…
As Americans sour more and more on DEI — there is a calculated shift underway for activists to have schools change their focus from DEI to ESG.

They want to use ESG standards to further the encroachment of critical race theory, queer theory, and climate activism into schools. ImageImage
Integrating education into a company’s ESG focus is also becoming a TOP business priority.

Why?

Businesses want to boost their own ESG corporate rating, which benefits from targeted investment in K-12 education.
