The $2 billion William Penn Foundation has funded the Philadelphia Student Union for 17 years.
However, the student union does not support the foundation’s radical plan to privatize large numbers of public schools in Philadelphia.
Surprise! The William Penn Foundation will no longer fund the Philadelphia Student Union.
William Penn, the large-hearted man for whom the foundation is named, would not approve.
It’s a shame that the richest members of society use their money to stifle dissent from the plans that they are foisting on the poorest members of society.
The youth of Philadelphia should be listened to, not just the Boston Consulting Group.

Well, at least the Foundation is making their real agenda and priorities clear.

WPF Director James H Gately is also a director of the Foreigh Policy Research Institute. The FPRI is funded by the Scaife Foundation and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. The foundations are at the heart of the “vast right wing conspiracy” that Hillary Clinton told us about.
These foundations fund such right wing organizations as The Heritage Foundation, CATO Foundation, Manhattan Institute, Pacific Research Institute, Judson Institute, Reason Foundation, Federalist Society, National Taxpayers Union, and the Tax Foundation…
These in turn lead directly to the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, Searle Freedom Trust, William E. Simon Foundation…
And you then arrive at ALEC.
