Oops, I Did It Again!
What happens when you have a Broad resident doing the numbers for a Broad trained superintendent?
You get whatever Eli Broad wants!
Sounds pretty simple and basic doesn’t it? We had our naysayers but not anymore.
It’s kind of a long story with an interesting history that I am tackling now for an article but let’s just start with Brad Bernatek, a Broad resident, who was hired by Raj Manhaus in 2006. Raj, as he is referred to, was superintendent of the Seattle Public School system at that time and had received “corporate training” at the Broad Foundation shortly after his appointment as superintendent . The person responsible for him being sent to the Broad borg will be revealed in an article that I am working on so stay tuned for that interesting tidbit.
Brad was brought on board to handle “student assessments” and was paid by the Broad Foundation. He was a business major in college with no experience in education. But education, schmeducation as far as Eli Broad, Bill Gates or Wendy Kopp with Teach for America, Inc. are concerned.
Are you seeing a few patterns begin to emerge? Whatever Bill or Eli want, they pay for. Right now, one or both of them will be paying for the next three years of TFA, Inc. recruits that will be marching into our school system in
