Scholastic Partners with ABC to Lie to Children

[Melissa G]

I think we need to put this message all over the net.
Scholastic needs to pull all support of the misleading BS of the Path to 911 or we boycott their product nationwide for the foreseeable future and ask our school districts to do the same with their book fairs and magazines.

I just got off the phone with three of their employees who are shunting folks to email. Scholastic clearly does not see the error of their ways.

1. Somebody replied to me earlier that Scholastic had changed their

mind and weren't going to distribute the pile from Disney.

:wtf: is going on?

I was out for a few hours and wasn't able to keep up with this. :crazy:

2. Here's my letter

to them this morning...



I am writing you today to inform you of my displeasure with your support for the upcoming docudrama "The road to 911".

I am a PTA Council President that represents 32 PTA units, many of which have used Scholastics for their annual book sale fund raisers for many years. "The Road to 911" is a fictional drama and for it to be taught in schools with your backing as fact means that our continued support of your company can no long be continued in good faith. Due to your support for a fictional piece of propaganda I will be asking our units to seek other suppliers to fill the void left by your shameful acts.

I am very saddened by your actions.

AS I posted earlier, my 6th grader is supposed to watch it for required home work...

I'm still waiting to hear back from my principal...

4. I'm talking to my school district as I post...

will update as I hear back...
