Via Kos, Josh Marshall’s site, TPM Muckraker is reporting that Scholastic, Inc. has backed out of the deal to distribute study guide materials for ABC’s docudrama “The Path to Glory.”
Educational media giant Scholastic, Inc. announced it’s dropping its original classroom companion guides to a controversial new docudrama about the events preceding the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks — and replacing them with materials stressing critical thinking and media literacy.
“After a thorough review of the original guide that we offered online to about 25,000 high school teachers, we determined that the materials did not meet our high standards for dealing with controversial issues,” said Dick Robinson, Chairman, President and CEO of Scholastic, in a press release.
