A Thing To Brighten Your Evening
Scholastic, Inc. -- the Scholastic Books people... you know, the Harry Potter publishers, and more importantly the providers of incredible amounts of classroom material to schools across the country and around the world? Until very recently, they used to partner with the American Coal Foundation, which provided them with a lot of material that was basically pro-coal-industry propaganda.
Turns out that even Scholastic can be taught.
Three cheers for the coalition of 16 organizations -- including Rethinking Schools, the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace USA, the Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity, and 350.org -- who protested Scholastic and got this changed.
