Does RttT violate Federal Code section 3403?
Is Secretary Arne Duncan violating U.S. Code - Title 20 section 3403: Education (January 2004)?
Race to the Top as written is not in compliance with U.S. Code. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) had no provisions that allowed Sec. Duncan to create a program in which state and school districts are bribed to comply with his direction.
Read the legislation; the ARRA hardly gives Duncan the power and control he has seized through Race to the Top … The ARRA does not allow his RttT bastardization of the original education legislation as RttT violates Federal Code.

A brief history of this situation follows and “Billionaires” play major roles:
1998: NewSchools Venture Fund was created in 1998 by social entrepreneur Kim Smith and venture capitalists John Doerr and Brook Byers, each of whom had witnessed the power of entrepreneurs to create change in other sectors, such as technology.
NewSchools’ first fund (1998-2002) was designed to build a new type of capital market that could support the development of innovative entrepreneurial ventures serving high-need students within public education. The fund was intended to test the hypothesis that entrepreneurs can act as agents for change, capable of influencing and possibly even transforming large public bureaucracies. In our first fund, NewSchools supported nine entrepreneurial nonprofit and for-profit ventures.
