Thomas Ultican has analyzed the billionaire funders behind the pro-Disruption, anti-democracy website “Education Post.”
The major funders are the usual members of the Billionaire Boys and Girls Club: Bloomberg, Waltons, Chan Zuckerberg, and Mrs. Jobs.
Please open and read his post.
If you thought the Disrupters might have softened their tone during the pandemic, like, as a show of decency, you will be disappointed. They are still attacking, vilifying, and mocking anyone daring to defend public education, which is a cornerstone of our democracy. It must really upset them that after all these years and billions spent on privatization, only 6% of American students enroll in charter schools.
For some reason, I am one of their prime targets. I suppose I should take it as a compliment.
I will never answer in kind.
They are swimming in cash, but what they cannot buy is civility, kindness, compassion, or dignity.
Diane Ravitch's blog 
Those billionaires are morally corrupt.
Diane, you are on the honor roll list…good for you.
They are professional public school critics.
That’s the job. It’s all they do. No practical assistance or effort or actual ideas- just well compensated critics sitting in judgment on schools they don’t support, don’t work in, didn’t attend and don’t send their children to.
Look across the ed reform spectrum last week – they believe that their “work” is to watch public schools and criticize them.
The disconnect is amazing- I am receiving sort of frantic emails EVERY DAY from my local public schools (that’s in addition to two calls to my son personally, by his teachers). They’re actually WORKING to deal with this, while ed reform criticizes from the safety of their home offices.
When this is over look back and remember who ACTUALLY helped your kids. It wasn’t the ed reform critics choir and it wasn’t the Trump education department- it was the much-maligned (and unfashionable) public schools in your community. They’re doing the work.
Ed reformers? They got nothing to contribute to this other than reciting their tired ideological beliefs. They return no value to public school students or families and it has NEVER been more obvious than it is now. Public schools are facing this challenge alone and unaided while ed reformers pontificate. That’s ok- they’re probably used to it by now. Some people work and some people talk.
Public schools don’t have time to sit for daily ed reform scolding right now.
Don’t worry- when the crisis is past ed reformers can sit at their desks and pen a review of how we did. Gosh, I hope we meet their high standards!
Do not LIFT A FINGER for public school students, but are more than happy to sit in judgment. That’s what they make the big bucks for- professional criticism.
It’s taking public schools a couple of weeks to take their entire operations online. That’s reasonable. No ordinary mortal could put this together faster.
Perhaps the folks sitting in think tanks and universities could allow them 14 days to put it together before rushing to their computers to draft scolding screeds.
Fill the time with some more fawning stories about charter and private schools. We’ll let you know when the work is done.
I don’t mind the folks who are paid by billionaires- Gates can burn his money if he wants to- what makes me mad are the ed reformers in government, who ALSO don’t contribute anything to public schools.
Stop hiring people who oppose public schools to run public schools. I harms students.
I’m a public school parent and I’m glad my son’s public school didn’t rush out garbage two days after the school closed. I’d rather they do a solid job rather than a rush job that meets ed reform punditry timetables.
Ignore the noise from the ed reform echo chamber. The critics will still be here whatever happens with this catastrophe, but your students are counting on you. No one counts on an ed reform pundit. They could all stop working during this crisis and there isn’t a single public school student or family in the country who would know or care.
We who teach every day in a public school appreciate all you do for us, Dr. Ravitch! Public education is a cornerstone of democracy. Stay strong and well!
Diane, please keep up your great work in defending public education and airing issues therein!
Diane . . . if I were you and looking for a job, I’d put the reformers’ criticisms of you on the first line . . . in bold and in caps.
You and your work are on the side of history and its long curve. CBK
nicely said
Amen, CBK!
You said: I will never answer in kind. They are swimming in cash, but what they cannot buy is civility, kindness, compassion, or dignity.
You have provided a much needed venue for those of us who need to vent.
Your books are marked by uncommon scholarship well beyond that of any self-anointed reformer with buckets of cash.
I have seen and heard you speak in public venues with “civility, kindness, compassion, AND dignity.
I do not see your Tweets, but on this blog you have shown that you are also good at slinging words that capture the dangerous foolishness of the deformers.
Thank you.
Also look at Larry Cuban’s thoughtful two-part blog on what the virus is teaching us and parents, many who are acquiring an appreciation of their schools and teachers. I think the blow hards at the 74million are afraid of that “refreshed” appreciation.
Larry also has some vintage press from the 1918 pandemic.
You are a scholar that seeks the truth through evidence. You are a threat to privatizers’ false narrative. You have been a crusader against the privatization of a key democratic institution. You have shown that the pen is mightier than $$$. You have been effective, and that is why you continue to be the object of privatizers’ disdain.
“As a public school teacher, who was working in the same system my children attended, I was full of pride and admiration for my colleagues one day and full of frustration the next, particularly due to the unequal treatment of our children.” Deborah Meier on her forward to my book Stop Politically Driven Education.
As long as we do not have a vision for the future that serves all children equally, public schools will be attacked, justifiably. And Charters aren’t the answer because they also don’t have a vision.
Amazing what you can accomplish when you’ve got time and money while most everyone else is distracted. That’s the new definition of “The American Way.”
The word that best describes Disrupters is hubris. They always assume the products they’re selling work. When it turns out the products don’t work, as it almost always does, they blame the people using the products. They never admit they were wrong. They just keep attacking people who show they were wrong. Hubris.
“For Whom No bell Tolls”

Speaking of which, Bill Gates is now hitting all the talk shows (remotely, of course), pretending (this time) to be an expert on pandemics.
Bill Gates is an expert about everything.
If he knows as much about pandemics as he does about education, we’re in deep trouble.
Then again, he does have expertise creating pandemonium in the schools.
Gates needs to say, “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV” at the start of every conversation.
His latest pontification was prefaced by “If I were president”.
No hubris there.
Just to show you how underhanded the billionaires are at trying to masquerade themselves…
The first publication listed, The Black Wall Street Times, wrote a scathing article about several Tulsa Public school board members who voted against changing the names of several schools.
https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2018/05/09/school-board-president-votes-robert-e-lees-surname-for-21st-century-school/
One of the board members, Suzanne Schreiber, works for George Kaiser Family Foundation/Tulsa Community Foundation and does his bidding.
https://www.gkff.org/who-we-are/staff/
“Suzanne Schreiber works on special projects for GKFF, including Tulsa’s Gathering Place LLC and various policy initiatives. Originally from New Mexico, Ms. Schreiber practiced law for several years and clerked for both the Northern District Court of Oklahoma and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. She graduated from the University of Tulsa College of Law and the University of Tulsa with a Bachelor of Science in political science and law and society.”
https://tulsacf.org/about-tcf/staff-profiles/
Suzanne Schreiber joined TCF in March of 2012. Suzanne is a native New Mexican who came to the University of Tulsa at age 18 and despite many attempts has never quite been able to leave the great city of Tulsa. Her work at TCF involves administering TCF’s Civic Priorities donor group, fostering strategic community partnerships and attention to special community initiatives. Prior to joining TCF, Suzanne worked as an attorney and as a federal law clerk for both the district and appellate courts. She twice took leave from her legal career to work on her mother’s political campaigns for lieutenant governor and governor of New Mexico. Her decision to work in philanthropy was inspired by her uncle Bill Daniels, founder of the Daniels Fund. Suzanne and her husband Tony have four children. She considers it a privilege to help take care of her family, makes a mean cinnamon roll, and is an avid follower of politics
A little over a year later, the publication is now housed out of 36 Degrees North, an incubator partly funded by GKFF. https://www.36degreesnorth.co/partners
The Black Wall Street Times started a foundation so billionaires can funnel money to it tax free to push their propaganda. Anyone hazard a guess who the board treasurer of a this newly formed foundation?

You don’t like what someone prints about you, just buy them off.
Meanwhile, idiots across the country are insisting that kids at home during this freaking plague complete their online worksheets on gerunds.
Hear ye, hear ye! Bring out your dead! And submit your gerunds worksheets by Thursday!
Hey, I’m impressed that anyone is learning gerunds.
LOL!
Seriously, though, I believe that there are some good reasons for studying traditional grammar:
It’s interesting in and of itself.
Having a shared basic traditional grammar vocabulary is useful for conversations about revision/editing.
Traditional grammar terminology can be useful for teaching sentence combining and expansion, which are in turn useful for increasing the range and variety of syntactic forms that kids have command of in their writing and speech.
However, those who think that teaching traditional grammar will have a major effect on the frequency of errors in students’ writing and speech are mistaken.
I have direct experience with participle standards becoming high stakes participle test questions. Participles became the foci of lessons across the state, instead of being just the language used to describe writing in more meaningful lessons. Teaching gerunds and participles is worthwhile in small doses, but the grammar usurps the power of literature in standardized testing culture.
Those of you with kids at home, here’s some extra credit assignments for them:
a. Download a Trump press briefing on the coronavirus and circle all the errors in grammar and usage. Underline the lies once. Underline the factual errors twice. (Parents: this will keep them VERY busy.)
b. Go to a post on the Diane Ravitch blog and print out the post and the comments. Underline all the gerunds and gerund phrases. Number them. Then tell whether each each is functioning as a subject, direct object, indirect object, object of a preposition, predicate nominative, retained object, subjective complement, objective complement, prepositional complement, adjunct adverbial, or appositive of any of these. (Parents: Being able to tell whether a gerund phrase is functioning as a subjective or objective complement is, of course, an essential 21st Century Survival Skill. If your child is unable to do this, doubtless he or she will be unable to find a mate or a job of any kind. You might as well give up entirely.)
A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to drink.
After awhile, a past participle arrived, drunk on drinking to drink.
We had a talk about his poor grammar. It was tense.
I said to young Hannibal, I think you need at comma after the infinitive in this sentence: It’s time to eat Gramma.
I just had to look up the word, so at least I learned what it means.
Learning is gerund.

Thank you, Tom, for keeping on top of the metastasizing Disruption and Privatization cancer, or, to change the metaphor, this hydra-headed monster. An outstanding and informative piece!!!
Here’s a national ed reform group promoting certain charter schools based upon calling the charter leaders and asking how they’re handling the crisis:
“Local charter networks like Purdue Polytechnic High School, Paramount Schools of Excellence, and Indianapolis Classical Schools made the transition to e-learning so well that they have been highlighted as national exemplars by the Center for Reinventing Public Education.”
Public schools need better PR people. Apparently all one has to do to get an A+++++ in edrformland is be a charter school and answer the telephone.
Charters report they’re doing fabulous work (unlike those icky government schools) and all of ed reform parrots whatever the schools tell them.
I can’t believe the public is paying for this.
https://www.indystar.com/opinion/
Nothing for public school students. Just business as usual in the echo chamber. Our students are the dead-last priority.
LOL. Well said, Chiara!
“Local charter networks like Purdue Polytechnic High School, Paramount Schools of Excellence, and Indianapolis Classical Schools made the transition to e-learning so well that they have been highlighted as national exemplars by the Center for Reinventing Public Education.”
How do ed reformers know that these charters “made the transition so well”?
Why, the charter promoters at the schools told them so, that’s how! It’s all very rigorous and scientific.
Marketing. It’s all marketing. They flood the zone with these stories of miraculous charter management and it then becomes “true”.

I am glad you enjoy reading Education Post, Joe Nathan. The editor and writers there have called me a racist and mocked me because of my gender and age. It was funded by Bloomberg, the Waltons, and other billionaires specifically to promote charter schools, to support privatization, and allegedly to encourage civility. Since Peter Cunningham stepped down as editor, the interest in civility disappeared.
Please point me to where Education Post mocked you for your age and gender.
Chris,
I do not read Education Post and I do not read your Twitter feed. Search your conscience.
Ultimately, the billionaires can’t buy the truth. Remember the quote (paraphrased from Lincoln, I think):
You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.
Eventually people wise up – especially now that so many parents are experiencing CC first hand.
Gerund of the millennium:
Statistricking from Some Dam Poet
Y’all are funny. —But not too funny. I still teach Latin gerunds, participles, etc. via diagramming. (Sum senex canis…)
No surprise to anyone, but again, my biggest headache this past week has been Microsoft Teams. The students and parents have been phenomenal as we try to adapt. Although I don’t agree that we should just throw in the towel this year, I wish the techies could see the havoc they wreak (reek?) with substandard products.
Minime ridiculum, though.
This author called me an “Uncle Tom.” If you have any integrity at all you will denounce his racism, and not co-sign it for your millions of followers.
Hey, Chris,
I am trying to find where someone called you an “Uncle Tom.” I can’t find it in Tom Ultican’s article. If I missed it, would you identify the sentence? I read the comments and did not find it there either.
From what I have heard, you frequently smear me on Twitter as a racist, but I have chosen to ignore your uncivil words.
I do not tolerate incivility on this blog, unlike your Twitter feed.
Please show me the defamatory language, and I will delete it.
Do you see this comment where Ultican says he doesn’t see how labeling me an “Uncle Tom” is racist?
Do you have an opinion about that as a historian?
Seems to me that you are more than willing to tolerate incivility if it is aimed at someone who has the temerity to disagree with you.
Mr. Stewart,
I do not read everyone comment on Twitter. I do not feel it is my responsibility to respond to every comment made by you or anyone else on Twitter. I am responsible for what I write and what I post.
Please stop making racist, sexist, and age-ist attacks on me on Twitter. Take responsibility for your own words, and I will take responsibility for mine.
Diane Ravitch
You’re deflecting. Tom has a comment here in this thread saying he doesn’t think labeling me an Uncle Tom is wrong. And, please point me to the Tweets you call sexist, racist, and age-ist.
Sorry, but I don’t have time to read your Twitter feed. I never have and I won’t start now. I blocked you because of your repeated insults.
You should have evidence when you make serious charges like this: “Please stop making racist, sexist, and age-ist attacks on me on Twitter.”
It seems to me you enjoy the freedom to write the most scandalous and insulting mischaracterizations of people who dare disagree with you, but you fall into fragility when challenged about it. This entire blog is built on polemics and demagoguery.
This level of angry rhetoric is not tolerated on my blog.
One of the rules of this blog is civility.
Please go away.
I am sorry to have hurt your feelings but I don’t see how labeling you an Uncle Tom is racist. Uncle Tom is the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. He is seen variously as a ground-breaking humanistic African-American slave, one who uses non-resistance and gives his life to protect others who have escaped from slavery and as being inappropriately subservient to white slaveholders. This is how Uncle Tom became a derogatory epithet for an exceedingly subservient person, particularly one aware of their own lower-class status based on race.
In a March 25 tweet about your scurrilous attack on Diane Ravitch and public education, I referred to you as Uncle Tom Stewart. Maybe that is a little harsh so I apologize for hurting your feelings but please stop your propagandist support of a small group of white highly hubris billionaires.
https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
I agree that you don’t understand how racist your comment was. This is why the historian who runs this blog should have called you on your white supremacy and cultural incompetence. If white people don’t call other white people out when they cross the line then racism thrives.
It’s one thing to disagree with my advocacy for the rights of black parents to educate our children how we see fit; it’s another thing to fall back on the marginalizing crutch of racist rhetoric to make your point.
You call me a white supremacist and I’m the racist. That is wildly inconsistent.
If someone is called a Benedict Arnold or a Quisling or an Uncle Tom, those are symbols of a character flaw. I was questioning your character for selling your services for big money to a group of anti-democratic billionaires.
Do you expect Diane Ravitch to inspect the tweets from everybody who is ever associated with a post on her blog and then use your prism of understanding to berate them? That makes less sense than calling someone who dares criticize you a racist.
You are still not backing down from your racial slur. You’re justifying it with silly arguments. Ms. Ravitch should delete your comment labeling me an Uncle Tom and you should self-reflect on your old-school racism.
Chris Stewart,
My blog is not the place for you to express your grievances. I did not post any racial slurs about you or anyone else and I don’t apologize what anyone else wrote on Twitter. If you have a beef with anyone, write them personally or send them a tweet.
We have a common friend, believe it or not, and he admitted that you have an unreasonable hatred of me because I wrote a book saying that the “reforms” promoted by the billionaires and right-wingers like the Waltons have failed. Charters have been a disappointment; vouchers are a failure. Judging teachers by the test scores of their students is ineffectual and drives teachers out of their profession. The so-called “reform” movement has harmed the students and teachers in America’s public schools. The vast majority of black and Hispanic students attend public schools.
Your name does not appear in my book. I do not employ racial slurs. I do not respond to your tweets. I do not read them.
Please stop using my blog as a place to air your grievances.
Tom’s description of Uncle Tom is taken right from Wikipedia and without attribution, as others on Twitter have pointed out. We call that plagiarism.
The use of that epithet should not and is not acceptable. Let’s state that right there.
Now, equally so, is your consistently inconsistent employment of calling something or someone racist. For some reason it is rarely if ever directed at those within reform circles. How many times have those in reform, particularly the conservative or libertarian circles, done something egregious and you give a pass? Success Academy brutally admonishing a young black girl? You gave a pass. Max Eden writing some taking abhorrent stances on discipline affecting children of color? You invite him on your blog. You said glowing things to say about Reagan of all people. Right now DeAngelis is openly courting bigots and the alt right, where is your outrage there? Is he still invited on your one of your blogs.
I agree with you on that epithet, but on the best of days you are a disingenuous hypocrite cynically wielding issues of race and racism as a bludgeon against those who you perceive as your political opponents. But you get paid well for it, that’s a fact.
Chris,
Apparently you have not read this blog long enough to understand its minimal rules.
This is my living room and everyone is welcome to join the conversation, to speak up and participate so long as they follow the rules.
Rule one is that you don’t insult your host. When you do, as you did in this comment, your comment is deleted.
Rule two is that a certain level of civility is expected towards others. In this comment, you not only insulted me but insulted the readers of this blog. I will not respond in kind.
I do not criticize you. I don’t care what you write but please don’t imply that the many millions of people whose children attend public schools, including the vast majority of people of color, hate public schools as much as you do. Your views reflect the views of the Waltons, Betsy DeVos, and the right wing billionaires whose wealth has been used to destroy public schools and to undermine unions, which have been a powerful force for lifting the poor into the working class and lifting the working class into the middle class.
I have stated repeatedly that the Waltons would do more good by paying their one million workers $20 an hour than by spending hundreds of millions every year to open charter schools, many of which will be closed in a year or two. And Bill Gates would do more good by opening health clinics in public schools than by investing in charter schools whose performance and stability are a gamble.
We disagree. That’s not a mortal sin.
A few story ideas for Education Post:
Interview Rev./Dr. Anika Whitfield about Grassroots Arkansas and their fight to restore democratic control of public schools in Little Rock.
Interview State Senator Joyce Elliot, who is an experienced educator and a candidate for Congress in Arkansas.
Interview Noliwe Rooks of Cornell University about her book “Cutting School.”
Interview Professor Kevin Kumashiro, who has gathered the signatures of hundreds of educators and scholars who oppose the privatization of public schools and the efforts sponsored by billionaires to deprofessionalize teaching.
Interview Julian Vasquez Heilig, whose writings about charter schools and TFA have been powerful in building resistance.
Interview Dr. John Jackson of the Schott Foundation for Public Education, who can explain to you that the vast majority of parents of color do not support the Walton-Bloomberg-Broad-DeVos agenda.
Review the results of the Massachusetts charter vote in 2016, where the only districts that supported the expansion of charters were wealthy white districts that never expected to see one in their community.
Just a few ideas that I hope you will consider in your pursuit of diverse views.
Chris’s views also reflect those of the major funder of his organization, Michael Bloomberg. The same Michael Bloomberg of “stop and frisk.” The same Michael Bloomberg who made appallingly sexist and salacious comments. The same Michael Bloomberg who asserted that the 2008 housing crisis was due to the end of “redlining.” If Michael Bloomberg offered to fund the Network for Public Education, we would reject the offer.
I stopped reading and commenting on your blog, Diane, when you allowed your commenters to call me a racist and “worse than a child molester.” Your “living room” standards are commendable. But they are clearly more honored in the breach than the observance.
I have crossed swords plenty with Chris Stewart. But you owe him an apology for the racist insult you have allowed on your blog.
Robert,
There have been more than 600,000 comments on my blog. I try to read them all but I don’t always succeed. I did not see the negative comments about you. I would have deleted them. There were no racist insults about Chris Stewart on this blog. Have you criticized him for implying that I am a racist?
Why is it you can never address the argument on dark money and billionaires. It was first untrue, then it’s true and not a problem (pretty Trumpian from someone who likes to say the same about others), or it’s to divert and call folks racist. Tom was wrong. He should say so. Now, how do you address the root concerns of working on the behalf of billionaires and, additionally, why is your outrage on racial issues is never directed to those you work with or work for? Any of the folks pushing esas and vouchers that erase civil rights protections? When have you taken Bloomberg to task? Eden? DeAngelis? Remember when you walked into his thread of a video of black kids pulling a prank edited to look like public schools are out of control and kids are hitting kids with bricks? Remember when his following started throwing racial insults immediately? Remember when you didn’t pounce back? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
To quote. Matthew 7:5
I’m assuming this comment was directed to the editor of Educatuon Post, which never expresses outrage about Michael Bloomberg’s expansion of selective schools that enroll very few black and brown children, and never expresses outrage towards the Waltons’ refusal to pay living wages to their one million wages, and never expresses outrage about the tax avoidance strategies of the billionaires who fund them.
Yes, the other comment was. WordPress doesn’t seem to allow replies to replies to replies.
To Carol’s point. The same Bloomberg Chris has had positive things say about in both tweets and in podcasts (he also has given the Kochs a pass more than once). What Tom said was wrong, but Chris’s silence speaks volumes with the policy and actions that cause real material harm for the vulnerable people of color, low SES folks, and the lgbtq+ community are not only ignored but then he turns around and rubs elbows with the well paid conservative and libertarian think tanks folks with no show jobs and praise for racist and misogynistic billionaires pushing those same things. But those “mostly white women” bougie teachers, man… they make 30, 40, 50K so they need the hammer. It’s nothing but cynically weaponized wokeness.
Again “datguy84” I’m happy to address your inaccuracies if you want to sign your actual name to your posts.
Chris,
Last warning: you posted a vicious tweet about me this morning. You are no longer welcome on my blog. If ever you learn how to treat others with decency, let me know.
Chris,
Or you could just go ahead and address them, accurate as they are. No, I’m not going to doxx myself so you can screen shot and try and tag my employer or whatever you are trying to do except address the substance here and in Tom’s piece.
Plus, it’s not like you have a pristine history on using anon accounts. Remember American Hot Sausage and the lovely awards it gave out to other PoC you disagreed with (I will leave the racial epithets aside)? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
http://www.citypages.com/news/online-only-the-real-chris-stewart-6689128
Oh man… Chris, buddy, you got a problem. So, let me get this straight. The last time someone wrote about this you hit back that unions, socialists, and BLM are funded by… Soros? That’s a straight old hat anti-semetic conspiracy theory.
I mean, what? are? you? doing?
