The world’s largest education-content publisher made a commitment to “embedding anti-racism” in teaching and learning, an upcoming Heritage Foundation report shows.
The report from the conservative think tank, “World’s Largest Education-Content Publisher Promotes Radical Political Agenda in U.S. Schools and Government,” argues that policy guidance from Pearson amounts to a pledge to incorporate critical race theory into its educational material, like textbooks for K-12 classes. A spokesperson for the British-owned publishing giant denied that CRT is included in public schools in a statement to Fox News.
“Pearson wants consumers of its materials to be social justice warriors,” the report's author, Heritage senior research fellow Jonathan Butcher, told Fox News.
The Heritage report, reviewed by Fox News and scheduled for a Thursday release, highlights editorial guidance Pearson published in September 2021.
