(From the diaries -- kos)
My cousin who is a senior sales rep for Scholastic says that the pressure we have been putting on his company for the past couple of days is starting to work.
But it's clear to me that we need to keep it up.
My cousin says that the best way to force Scholastic to withdraw from the ABC partnership is to contact school districts, especially big public districts in major cities, promising to oppose all Scholastic textbook purchases for years if the company does not agree to pull out of the ABC deal immediately, and to tell Scholastic what we are doing during this process.
Here are the details.
Update by kos: Firedoglake has more info on Scholastic:
Just got off the phone with Ms. Kyle Good, VP of Corporate Communications at Scholastic. They have pulled the material and are meeting shortly to discuss what to do. They know there are many materials already out there and are discussing what to do or how to deal with it.
Please call their offices right now (10:55 AM - Eastern Time).
