[quote=Anonymous]Ward 8 schools can't fund their own PTOs, so funding for parent organizations helps get them off the ground and advocate for the things that they care about. Walton funds all sorts of things, the latest I see on their website is campus chapters of Audubon at HBCUs, which ALSO frequently don't have funding to travel, host events, etc. Is that "astro-turf" for the chickadees? Do you have something against BIPOC becoming environmental advocates? Come on. They are billionaire heirs, trying to do something decent with their money. The idea that support for DC charters is to keep our children "dumb and malleable" is laughable. I imagine they just believe, as 40% of DC parents believe, that schools, families and teachers all need to be ACCOUNTABLE, which is why my fingers are persinally crossed for a charter seat in a few weeks.
