A new report is raising alarms over the Southern Poverty Law Center’s influence in American colleges, finding that the left-wing organization’s educational materials are being used to train future K-12 teachers in 38 states.
The report from Defending Education examined 100 colleges of education and found the SPLC’s Learning for Justice program, formerly known as Teaching Tolerance, embedded in teacher preparation programs across the country.
Defending Education said researchers also found the SPLC’s Social Justice Standards were incorporated into programs focused on “Equity, Access, and Anti-bias Education,” “Teaching for Social Justice,” “Critical Consciousness,” and “Socially Just Teachers.”
