In what is becoming a regular event, yet another company has dropped
the American Legislative Exchange Council, the corporate front group
that helped spread Stand Your Ground gun laws and voter suppression
efforts. According to the Center for Media and Democracy, Kaplan, Inc., a
for-profit education group owned by the Washington Post Company, has
publicly announced
that it will not renew its membership. ALEC has come under heavy
scrutiny from progressive groups, such as Color of Change, that have
been pressuring corporations like State Farm and AT&T to sever ties
with the conservative group. See all the companies that have dumped ALEC
here.
