British Textbook Company Indoctrinating American and Florida’s Children

“The British textbook company Pearson’s international business model and products are brainwashing U.S. and Florida students with religious and political indoctrination, revisionist U.S. history, pornography, and horrible math methodologies.” – Florida Citizens Alliance

Florida Citizens Alliance (FLCA)in a column titled Tell Pearson, PLC To Stop Indoctrinating Our Kids! writes:

Pearson, PLC is a British company that provides over 80% of all text books and on-line lesson plans to our children in Florida public schools. They are dedicated to brainwashing our U.S. and Florida students with religious and political indoctrination, revisionist U.S. history, pornography and horrible math methodologies. Several of their largest shareholders are the Arab Bank Corp and the two thugs running Libya. Furthermore, Pearson is committed to destructive high stakes testing and is heavily invested in standardized tests.

The story is even bigger than Florida and the United States. Pearson is an international company, chasing the multi-trillion dollar k-12 textbook, on-line lesson plan and huge standardized testing dollars gravy train on a global basis. They are intent on rolling out Common Core including its Common Core curriculum, high stakes testing and student profiling through aggressive data mining.

FLCA provides students, parents, teachers and concerned citizens an opportunity to send and email to Pearson, PLC. The email reads:

To Pearson PLC Board of Directors:

Your international business model and products are brainwashing our U.S. and Florida students with religious and political indoctrination, revisionist U.S. history, pornography, and horrible math methodologies. We demand you honor Florida Statutes FS 1003.42 and FS 847.011 to ensure historically accurate materials, stop the pornography and stop the political and religious indoctrination immediately.
