Tarika Sullivan, a Professional Development Specialist, was allegedly recorded explaining how her company teaches concepts related to equity and racial pedagogy.
The South Carolina Freedom Caucus, a conservative group of state legislators, said the recording was provided by a whistleblower, and allegedly shows Tarika Sullivan, a Professional Development Specialist for EL Education, explaining how she works "with school leadership teams to help improve schools and provide curriculum support." Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Sullivan explains further that the curriculum is "inclusive of culturally relevant teaching" and that the teaching starts with "school leadership" and then subsequently to the "whole staff." Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
