I would like for the benefactors to read this and comment on how this aligns with the goals of their respective foundations. I suspect, and I hope I am wrong, that their super large grants are penitence for their “white guilt.” Or maybe, their due diligence is lousy.

The numbers listed from those organizations are "chump change" virtue signaling without due diligence (at best). Those from the departments of education are extortion.

The reporter should have contacted them and asked them about it. That should have been part of her job. She should have asked them and the Penn Department of Education why they would support this program and what the curriculum would be. The fact that you would post this question and not expect the reporter to ask the hard question shows how low readers' expectations have fallen. This is not good journalism. This is just another version of Fox News whipping up the right wing yahoos.
