Project Veritas’ latest release in their Secret Curriculum series, which has been exposing far-left shenanigans in school hiring practices in several states, takes aim at the curricula being peddled in Georgia, a state which has banned the use of so-called Critical Race Theory (CRT). On Tuesday, the watchdog group released an undercover video featuring Dr. Quintin Bostic, a content manager for the Teaching Lab, in which he claims that he skirts the Georgia law by referring to CRT material as DEI, which stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
The Teaching Lab, which describes itself as a “non-profit organization whose mission is to fundamentally shift the paradigm of teacher professional learning for educational equity,” denies any wrongdoing and says that Project Veritas released a “deceptively produced and edited video” of an employee without his knowledge or consent.
Even so, a page on The Teaching Lab’s website featuring Bostic appears to have been removed.
In the video, Bostic claims that two districts in Georgia feature CRT curriculum sold by him. Asked by the Project Veritas undercover journalist how many schools in Georgia currently use his curriculum, he responds, “Two — two districts actually. Fulton County and then Cobb County.”
The Teaching Lab, however, denies that it even operates in Georgia or that it has anything to do with curricula or CRT.
“Teaching Lab does not currently operate in the state of Georgia, nor does it sell curriculum. Critical race theory is not a part of Teaching Lab’s professional learning model,” reads a statement from the organization.
The Teaching Lab does admit that Bostic is an employee — as of now, at least — and the Project Veritas video paints a picture of the educational professional as, in his own words, an “evil salesman.”
“I would say I’m a good salesman, but I’m also an evil salesman,” Bostic says in the video.
As far as pushing CRT, which is banned in Georgia, Bostic claims that it’s really about how you package the curriculum.
“If you don’t say the words ‘Critical Race Theory,’ you can technically teach it,” he said.
According to Bostic, it’s far easier to sell CRT to school districts by framing it as DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). Or, as he explains, DEI “is more accepted than, like, anti-racist education or Critical Race Theory.”
Bostic had little use for Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who recently won reelection. “He [Governor Kemp] is, like, such an idiot. Like, his wife does a lot of stuff on education here [in Georgia] … I would get nailed” if Kemp’s wife found out about his actions.
The state government appears similarly clueless in his estimation. “They [Georgia State Government] have no clue [what is in my curriculum] and I’m like, ‘This is great! This is good!’”
In a subsequent video, Bostic refers to the Teaching Lab as the “Scam Lab” and calls the Teaching Lab’s CEO Sarah Johnson a “freaking psychopath.”
“My boss [Johnson] is a freaking psychopath,” Bostic told PV. “She’s running a non-profit but it’s for profit.”
Bostic detailed how business was done in his eyes, relaying a conversation he allegedly shared with Johnson.
“I said, ‘So, hypothetically these people [the Gates Foundation] are funding you to build a program. Once the grant is over, you take the program, and you sell it to people — for money,” Bostic said.
“I was like, ‘Is that legal?’ She [Johnson] was like, ‘It has nothing to do with me.’ She said, ‘The grant ended, we fulfilled the grant.’ And I’m like, ‘But we’re selling a product of the grant,’” Bostic said.
The organization’s website has also, apparently, removed a page featuring Johnson.
Thus far, all that the Teaching Lab has said about Bostic’s allegations is that “the views expressed by the employee in these recordings are his own.”
In a follow up, Project Veritas CEO James O’Keefe got Johnson to admit that DEI was “a major part of our mission.”
It’s impossible to say for certain whether Bostic’s views on what’s happening with the Teaching Lab are correct, or if, as the organization claims, Project Veritas’ videos present “an inaccurate portrayal of Teaching Lab.”
One thing, however, is certain. The videos shed light on the incestuous relationship that big money donors such as the Gates Foundation have with movers and shakers in education such as the Teaching Lab. Not even your children’s school textbooks are safe from globalist meddling.
