Official Statement Regarding Sourcing

On February 23, 2023, it came to our attention that a direct competing curriculum company had created a nearly hour-long damaging video condemning an us for our most recent US History unit. Even without the use of our name, it was immediately clear that they were speaking of our company and many people started emailing in. The video called into question the credibility not only of our most recent US History 6 curriculum, but our credibility in general. In response, we have received angry, offended, fearful, and questioning emails and comments from our customers, demanding a response. Though we would have preferred to not get pulled into this, the fact that our credibility has been called into question and that our customers do, in fact, deserve a response, prompted us to sleep on it, pray about it, and then release a public statement. Jonathan and I went live yesterday (February 24th, 2023)  to address the concerns, but it seemed that to many, this was not considered good enough. We are aware of the fact that we are not going to convince everyone, but we thought a written response may be more clear for those who are still doubting our credibility based off the damage that has already been done.
