That weird subversive Hillsdale/DeVos stuff was no  good[/quote]

Why not?  I thought charter people loved right wing funding.[/quote]

They only love it if they can pretend they aren't getting it.  It was a woefully clueless application![/quote]

There is not a single high-performing charter in DC (except BASIS) that has not at one time accepted funds, particularly start-up funds, from a conservative foundation or an org that takes its money from conservatives, such as the New School Venture fund, for example. [/quote]

The New School Venture fund isn’t very politically active.
It’s not the Walton or Bradley Foundations, or a DeVos, Koch, Heritage affiliated group that wants to destroy public education for political ends.

A school like Mundo that took startup money from NSVF to get going and they’re now doing good work in the city.  I don’t begrudge Mundo that.  But we should avoid Walton and Hillsdale influencing DC.[/quote]
