🚨BREAKING from @DefendingEd:

A Chinese-owned financial corporation that provides tutoring services to at least 100 school districts across the country is infiltrating American classrooms and potentially exploiting student data.

💣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.

🚨NEW: @DefendingEd exposed another school district hiding students’ gender transitions from their parents!

🧵Thread breaking down the disturbing findings.

townhall.com/tipsheet/madel… Wichita Public Schools (WPS) in Kansas has a gender support plan used for students that appears to show that the gender identity of students can be kept secret from their parents.

The plan asks:

“Who will be the student’s ‘go to’ adult at school?”
