What happened to the $160 million Annenberg challenge?

Through Bill Ayers, Obama got a piece and had the opportunity to “spread the good(s)” in the 90s and launch his career in politics. Peggy Noonan doesn't get it. Do You? Do you really want Democrats controlling all three branches of the government with their Just-Us radical, anti-American social plans?
    “[Bill Ayers‘] hatred of America is as virulent as when he planted a bomb at the Pentagon. And this hatred informs his educational "reform" efforts. Of course, Mr. Obama isn't going to appoint him to run the education department. But the media mainstreaming of a figure like Mr. Ayers could have terrible consequences for the country's politics and public schools.”
Ayers is no education reformer

I don't know what happened with that money but it's clear that the Chicago schools are one of the best school systems in the country now.

Right?

Didn't they have the school kids out on strike this year? They know how to organize, just not how to do math or science.

Why haven't RL and Suduki jumped in here to explain what happened.

Sweet to be missed, innit?

It is. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Although, truth me told, I'm not used to being missed. Wonder why that is?
