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. Did you happen to catch Dick Morris a few minutes ago commenting on the Annenberg documents? It seems he is about the only the person in the media who actually went and READ them (I'd bet he writes a book...) At any rate, he mentioned a grant application signed by Ayers in which the "purpose of the grant" was to take the focus off grades and academic performance and, quoting -- "to politically radicalize" students. The grant, for $50M I believe, actually said that. More amazing, he got it. Morris points out the fact that Obama will be administering a $100B budget for education as president. It is a frightening prospect, that the president could actually be pursuing this kind of policy. Just shocking. It is hard for me to understand how Americans, no matter how freaking stupid they are, can vote for this guy.
