As weve mentioned countless times, The StarPress opens up their editorial pages to Cecil Bohanon and Andrea Neal, both paid academic shills employed by the Indiana Policy Review - member of the State Policy Network - part of ALEC, a corporate bill mill which has brought us Right to Work and Right to Farm legislation. You can follow the money back to the Koch brothers and very large corporate members who benefit directly from the bills handed to republican officials like Rep. Luke Messer and Sen. Dan Coats. Indiana has a many paid shills/public officials who line up to get campaign money and pass along ALECs template bills in Indianapolis as their own. For our Northeast Indiana Friends of Public Education and Hoosier School Heist, the following was written by an elected representative who attended a recent ALEC conference: ALEC also wants to go back to a time of separate but unequal educational systems, draining public schools of resources that are re-allocated to private voucher and unaccountable charter schools. Interestingly, the charter movement has abandoned its claim that charter schools can do a better job with less money than traditional public schools. The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools now plans to return to states including Wisconsin with new ALEC model bills requiring charter funding parity with traditional public schools, expanding which entities are able to authorize new charter schools, and exempting these schools from all state requirements.
