Over the last few months, as COVID brought classrooms into American homes, parents learned that their children are being taught Critical Race Theory (i.e., Whites are evil; Blacks are pathetic) and magical thinking about gender, as well as being forced to wear masks that don’t protect against disease, but do interfere with children’s health, learning, and socialization. Their vigorous complaints saw the National School Board Association suggest they’re “domestic terrorists” and Merrick Garland answer the call. We learned, too, that Merrick Garland’s son-in-law, through his company, Panorama Education, sells CRT materials to public schools. And yesterday, it turned out that Panorama is also spreading material calling Trump and his supporters “white supremacists.”
Alexander “Xan” Tanner, a very White man, is married to Merrick Garland’s daughter. Tanner co-founded Panorama Education, which purports to provide a data platform that delves into students’ psychosocial issues in order to help schools intervene in problems and improve the school climate. In a word, it’s creepy. The company, of course, insists that it’s all about diversity:
We believe Panorama is strongest when our team reflects the tremendous diversity of the students, families, and educators we serve. We aim for Panorama to be a place where team members from a wide range of identities and experiences are valued, included, and able to thrive. In our partnership with clients, we work to increase equitable access to education, especially for students from communities that have been historically underserved by America’s schools.
Yeah, right.... Go to the linked webpage and look at the employee picture. It’s a sea of White faces with a small number of racial minorities among them. All these people, obviously, have used their White privilege to deprive BIPOCS of career opportunities and, according to their own values, should be ashamed of themselves. Still, these privileged White employees feel competent to assure school districts that they’ll help fix racial inequities on campus.
The company is doing more than pushing the racist obsessions of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It also tells public school districts across America the vile lie that Trump and his supporters are “white supremacists”:
An education company co-founded by Attorney General Merrick Garland’s son-in-law issued a “resource” for teachers this year that claims supporters of former President Donald Trump are White supremacists.
The educational workshop released by Panorama Education, co-founded by Alexander “Xan” Tanner, the group’s president, revolves around “systemic racism” and includes an article as a resource that states the Ku Klux Klan and attendees of Trump’s rallies are both “examples of white supremacy.”

Bullying stops when children themselves are allowed to make it stop. If and when that fails, Teachers/Principals having the power of Corporeal Punishment make it stop. Neighborhood Parents when allowed make it stop. When these systems fail, the remaining few are incarcerated in "Juvenile Halls", and for those who do not learn this prepares them for a Future of Permanent Incarceration away from Civilized Society. Society should never lower itself to meet the beds of its most unwilling to join. Society should always protect itself by changing/separating those who would bring it harm.

Well, if Tanner's "platform"delves into students' psychosocial issues and helps schools intervene in problems and improve the school climate - - -IMHO, that quackery is an ABJECT FAILURE! If it workedm or provided anything "positive", we wouldn't be having bullying, safe-space issues and school shootings happening on almost a daily basis.
Another greedy a$$hole! Get rid of him now!
Yes remove him NOW .
From the Dawns of Civilizations, conquered peoples enslaved one another to assure against further uprisings and to gain land and resources. And this was done amongst their own kinds. Beginning with the advanced civilizations of the Far and Middle East, Neutered Captives from Africa made for Exotic Harem/Concubine Guards. With the establishment of the Islamic Religion, Believers were no longer allowed by "Sharia Law" to enslave fellow believers, so the imported from Africa to the Middle East. Only after the Portuguese and Spanish had destroyed/killed the Native lives in North, Central and South Americas did the importing of Slaves from Africa begin, noting these Slaves were captured, and sold by fellow Africans. To lay the burden, results and repercussions of Slavery is unfair, unjust and an ignorant display of the understanding of History, including accepting a certain amount of "Self Responsibility." History can never be invented to serve a purpose as the Nazis discovered with the "Aryan Race."
