Got Dough? How Billionaires Rule Our Schools (suggested by Troy!)

Are the big three educational revolution foundations (Gates-Broad-Walton) doing more harm than good?

  1. Troy - this is such an awesome article, thanks again for sharing. It's shocking how rarely anything bad about the Gates Foundation surfaces. Not time to shut it down/hinder its financing - but important to rethink how philanthropists may do more harm than good - it happens far more than they might like to think.

  2. This article is incredibly important in showing that "special interest" doesn't only have to apply to lobbyists and govt or to right wing groups.

    Important reflection in understanding the role of philanthropy and why it ain't always green!
