Yesterday, I
diaried about Scholastic Books catapulting the "Path to 9/11" propaganda. More than 400 comments were made, the vast majority of them excellent suggestions for action, and outrage that Scholastic would be supporting this crock-u-mentary with propaganda reinforcement.
We flooded them with calls and emails of protest and righteous indignation.
Tonight, the material is no longer on Scholastic's website. Poof. Disappeared.

From a comment
in this diary, the commentor tried to click through on the
link to Scholastic's resource website. This is the link we were all hitting yesterday for our research.
Tonight, the link comes up to a blank search page.
Thinking this was merely a site problem or something, I did a quick search of the Scholastic website.
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
In Tom Kean's "letter to educators" (which is still online at the Scholastic website, but perhaps hasn't been scrubbed yet), he encouraged them to go to this link (which is a root directory to all of the Path to 9/11 material).
That link comes up a blank also.
There is apparently no more "Path to 9/11" resources or information on Scholastic's website.
Wow. If this is truly the case, fantastic. We might have won one round.
Update - From the comments, the PDF's are still online, but there is apparently no linkage anywhere on the Scholastic website to the PDF's.
