OUR OVERVIEW

Our overview of the recommended textbooks “Actively Learn” is that these materials are very biased—liberal, social justice-oriented, teaching materials use views through a racial lens, divisive, and often not age-appropriate for the material being used.

Additionally, there are major privacy concerns with the data collection of both teacher and student information that is also given to a 3rd party.
