Like many Americans, we mourn the murder of George Floyd and condemn the systemic violence and racism directed toward Black Americans. For 100 years, Scholastic has worked toward a more just and equitable world for students and families. Today, we renew that commitment. As we move forward, we are guided by the words of the Scholastic Credo:

We believe in:

• The worth and dignity of each individual
• Respect for the diverse groups in our multicultural society
• Representative government and even-handed justice that maintains equality of rights for all people
• Cooperation and understanding among all people for the peace of the world
• The basic freedoms of all individuals – we oppose discrimination of any kind on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation or identity, age, or national origin
