You can find shelves of books by people like Alinsky, Bill Ayres, Freire [...] about using schools for the political transforming of society.<br /><br />I then worked in public schools and saw first hand rampant misuse of power and funds. I found people in make work political jobs and things thar appeared to be set up to divert funds to progressive causes.<br /><br />My experience is not sufficient.<br /><br />A few seconds of Googling and I find places like <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus.php?ind=W04" rel="nofollow">Open Secrets</a> which tallies reported donations to parties. Reported data shows things like the AFSCME (a govt employee union) gave $30M in last election. 98% to Democrats.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.independentteachers.org/" rel="nofollow">IndependentTeachers</a> reports the various teacher&#39;s unions of Colorado gave $63M to political causes. You must belong to union to work. <a href="http://teachersunionexposed.com/" rel="nofollow">Teachers Union Exposed</a> has started tallying reported donations from teachers unions. <br /><br />(NOTE: <a href="http://union-yes.blogspot.com/2008/02/use-of-union-dues-for-politics_27.html" rel="nofollow">A pro-union site</a> reports $925 million in union money going to political causes in 2004. BTW, a union member foolish enough to claim &quot;Beck Rights&quot; makes himself a target of the union bosses.)<br /><br />Reported political donations are usually only a tip of the money flowing through any given system.<br /><br />It&#39;s late, I would google more. I occasionally come across reports of abusive spending in schools, but I am too tired to continue.<br /><br />BTW, here is a progressive site saying the <a href="http://www.65percentdeceptionfacts.com/" rel="nofollow">65% rule is a deception</a>. If progressives believe such a rule is a deception when placed on education, why isn&#39;t the 85% rule placed on health care a deception?y-intercepthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03389285761013186443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090403.post-38414662401211328652010-01-02T13:52:02.623-07:002010-01-02T13:52:02.623-07:00<i>The public school system, as everyone knows, is a primary trough for progressive political activism. Many of the most progressive school districts prefer to use the funds allocated for education to achieve the progressive goal of redistributive justice to the lesser goal of educating children.</i><br /><br />Where did you come up with this nonsense?JBTnoreply@blogger.com
