Irrelevant. The Annenberg foundation has given out thousands of grants. No way the Annenbergs knew what was done with each grant or oversaw it. The $50M (matched by other foundations) granted to Ayers in Chicago was only part of $500M the foundation granted to education nationwide - just the Chicago piece. What was done in each major city where a grant was made was totally different. The Chicago grant pushed "local school councils" or "teaching against oppression". That was unique to the Chicago grant because it was the vision of Ayers and Obama. As it happens my wife did some work for the Houston Annenberg grant, setting up and running an after school program to boost student achievement. The work done under the Houston Annenberg grant was totally different from that of the Chicago grant. How the money got spent and on what depended on the grantee and the appointed administrators. No way the Annenbergs know the details of what was done with their money, in Chicago or anywhere else.
