Education firm founded by AG Merrick Garland’s son-in-law issued ‘resource’ for teachers that claims supporters of Donald Trump are white supremacists

An education firm that was co-founded by the son-in-law of US Attorney General and former Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland is under fire for issuing resources that claims former President Trump’s supporters are white supremacists.

Alexander ‘Xan’ Tanner, 30, is a founder and the president of Panorama Education, an analytical software and services company in Boston. He married Attorney General Garland’s daughter Rebecca in 2018.

Panorama recently put out a workshop which deals with systemic racism.

It includes a link to an article that calls both Ku Klux Klan members and President Trump’s supporters ‘examples of white supremacy.’

‘SEL as Social Justice: Dismantling White Supremacy Within Systems and Self,’ the Panorama workshop in question, features several ‘resources’ for teachers, including one that links to a Medium article titled ‘How White Supremacy Lives in Our Schools, written by Altagracia Montilla.

Montilla’s piece, published in July of 2020, says ‘the rise in images of overt white supremacy in the media feeds into the confusion about white supremacy. While the Ku Klux Klan and MAGAs at half-empty Trump rallies (not that these are mutually exclusive groups) are in fact examples of white supremacy, they are not the only examples.’
