    Personally i don’t have a problem per se with “liberal” angles, but the entire program was a grift for obama admin and his crew.

    Usage of specific consultants for grant writing and strategy.

    Classic grifters like Pearson and McGraw-Hill

    Tech contracting going to MSPs aligned with the Obama’s team along with big tech contracts.

    There were also consultants who trained teachers and school admins.

    Results were at best dubious. But billions flowed to Obama’s people.

    Like i said above, ideology is secondary, this is about money flows.

        Joanne Weiss, James Blew, Laura Schifter and Andrew Smarick careers among hundreds of others.

        Look into Bellwether Education Partners and how much obama alumni ended up up grifing there.

        Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning is another example.

            I know you are being dense on purpose but for people who actually care to understand the topic.

            My comment above specifically focused on issues of misappropriation of federal funds by insiders via corrupt contracting process with intermediary companies.

            But corruption is systematic touches issues from sextortion to outright fake degrees for money.

                    You changing topics now.

                    I explained to you how corruption works within education and provided examples of people and companies that were affilaites with obama admin who specifically made money on rttt

                    These people will never be prosecuted due to being regime whores.

                    If you think spending billions of dollars on dubious programs that provide no benefit is fine. Good for you.

                    I call that corruption. It is corruption under Obama and it is still corruption under trump.

                    Getting pissed about trumps red herrings while ignoring the actual issue is a clown exercise which is how this entire discussion started.

                    If you got a counter point, I would like to hear it.

                    Do you find these dealign acceptable?
