Southern Poverty Law Center Curriculum in K-12 Schools: Learning for Justice/Teaching Tolerance Tracker
For years, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) education program called Learning for Justice (formerly Teaching Tolerance) has integrated its far-left content and materials into
K-12 schools
The SPLC’s Learning for Justice content has wormed its way into American education institutions and the influence it has on policy, standards, curriculum, daily lessons, and the community.
Districts and entities in your state that utilize the SPLC curriculum include:
Jefferson County Public Schools
Hudson Middle School – Social Change <https://link.quorumtracking.com/f/a/7eRbBrnA0FyNZLRPbw4upg~~/AACYXxA~/gRd0jCxGLolUJld8U6lrQr5RPedXWmYxvsw8KSeabZrIamoTRae_dGep4HNyRttebecKqz42U7TRaEYgrMCnxLS1QTG

Note: This is not a comprehensive list and will be updated as new information is found or shared. Additionally, non-school district entities such as school board associations, teachers
unions, and other professional organizations are highlighted in red and state Departments of Education are italicized to make them stand out from school districts.
Overview
The SPLC’s website and documents can be found on school district webpages, in teacher professional development and trainings, classroom lessons, district-wide curriculums, Social Emotional
Learning (SEL) <https://link.quorumtracking.com/f/a/gp3ZYhz9JO1cKB-H879EXw~~/AACYXxA~/AiiSJ2nwSzuHZnrTPSKhvT_BcjSi1DEUie-_QCIV_0bfH-e6MbKntAse0VPEsws4Q3o-uh8DrR9n-kCoV872MKSbD5aGcEwXBEjdr5W_ex18-8rU
-Z_j0ssPVPv42ebOv9xfCv6oaYGWYj1aWZEXWQ~~> , social justice standards, and district antiracism and equity policies and resources.
The aim of this report is to expose how Learning for Justice content and materials have been and are being used in schools, and how widespread the organization’s influence is in K-12
education. While this report is not exhaustive, it does capture the different ways in which the SPLC’s programming is utilized and/or promoted by state agencies, education institutions,
teachers unions, professional associations, consultants, and education focused companies.
Unfortunately, the true scope of Learning for Justice’s impact on schools and districts is difficult to fully capture due to a lack of public access to curriculums, lessons, and textbooks.
Additionally, because of the potential integration of the Social Justice Standards into several popular SEL curriculums, it is hard to track down all districts using the SEL programming
that includes those standards.
Another complication in tracking down usage is the ability for teachers to independently incorporate Learning for Justice content and tools into daily lessons and assignments. Therefore,
it is fair to assume that the use of Learning for Justice content is more widespread throughout K-12 education than this report is able to capture.
While Learning for Justice produces some content that appears neutral, the sum of its work does promote far-left ideologies and viewpoints that push a leftwing agenda. For example, the
organization’s Social Justice Standards includes an entire domain focused on teaching the youngest of learners to engage in “action” or activism for social justice causes.
