Garland son-in-law's race-obsessed education company urges schools to push lawmakers to adopt its ideas and stick taxpayers with tab - Yahoo News

A curriculum company with links to Attorney General Merrick Garland sells local educators on its “woke” education materials and shows them how to stick state and federal taxpayers with the bill.

Panorama Education, founded by Garland’s son-in-law Xan Tanner, produces teaching materials focused on systemic racism, oppression, white supremacy, and intersectionality, all under the rubric of "Social-Emotional Learning.” The multimillion-dollar company's marketing plan appears to be to get educators to buy in and then show them how to pay for it all with government grants.

“International SEL Day is a perfect opportunity to tell your policymakers that committing to dismantling systems of oppression and advancing equity-centered SEL is important to you," the Panorama "toolkit" reads. "Reach out to your local, regional, state, and national policymakers.”

Panorama's curriculum materials have angered some parents across the nation who see critical race theory and similar approaches as teaching K-12 children that they are either victims or oppressors based on their skin color. Garland enraged parent groups this week when he assigned the FBI to help address what he called a spike in "harassment" and "threats of violence" toward school board members. Some parent groups believe it was an effort to chill them from objecting to controversial curricula, which the DOJ denies.

Panorama's curriculum is as profitable as it is controversial. The company's revenues are not public, but it boasts that it "supports 13 million students in 21,000 schools" and has garnered tens of millions of dollars from investors. But most of its money appears to come from taxpayers, and Panorama uses educators to leverage it.

One 2021 Zoom workshop on “SEL as Social Justice: Dismantling White Supremacy Within Systems and Self” included numerous "calls to action" for the hundreds of teachers and others attending. At least five slides provided explicit talking points for educators to use to promote Panorama's approach to government officials.
