According to a new bombshell report from members of the Texas House, China has a found a way to infiltrate K-12 schools across the state.
How are they doing it? With Hong Kong based ownership of two well known tutoring services.
"The Princeton Review, and it's affiliate Tutor.com" said Robert Montoya, investigative reporter at Texas Scorecard, "Both are owned by the Hong Kong based Primavera Capital Group. They hold investments in ByteDance which is the parent company of Tik Tok."
But with the tutoring, comes direct access to students, and a Texas education.
"It introduces potential pathways for undue influence, data exploitation, and long term ideological manipulation" Montoya told KTRH.
So now that we know what China is doing, what will be done here in Texas during this current legislative session?
"Lawmakers have suggested that Governor Abbott issue a ban on using foreign owned tutoring services because they have such connections to China" noted Montoya.
It's now up to Texas lawmakers to make the next move.
