The enemy within: Few Americans know of [the] stealth campaign to help the Left control the U.S. educational system .

Foundation Watch, May 2016 (PDF to come)
Summary: The free speech-averse John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation aspires to leverage social media and educational testing in order to strengthen elite control of all aspects of society and culture. The philanthropy promotes politically correct censorship on popular websites like Twitter and Facebook, but for more insight into the organization, focus on the left-wing MacArthur board chairman who has long been a heavy-hitter in textbook publishing.
The Chicago-based John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation was founded in 1971 by the insurance billionaire John D. MacArthur. It is yet another sad story of a free-market entrepreneur’s fortune being captured by the Left, which cares little for the intentions of donors.

John MacArthur died in 1978, and by 1981, the leftists had taken power at his foundation and ousted the conservatives. With just under $6.5 billion in assets at the end of 2014, it is now the seventeenth-largest private foundation in the country and the largest in Illinois, according to FoundationSearch. The philanthropy has been a major force on the American media landscape for years, with total annual spending of approximately $225 million. In 2013, the foundation spent $79.1 million on U.S. grants, with the lion’s share going to “digital media and learning.”

While its oft-mentioned donations in support of liberal media outlets like NPR and PBS have made the MacArthur brand familiar to many, few Americans know of its larger designs: a stealth campaign to help the Left control the U.S. educational system via digital media assessments and efforts by the foundation’s chairman to foster censorship on social media. The unifying theme of many MacArthur projects is manipulation of America’s “Overton windows” (a term describing the range of acceptable political discourse on a particular topic), either through increasingly antiquated communication channels like radio and television, or through forward-looking technology and education grants.

MacArthur has been interested in global online censorship since 2007, when it teamed up with Harvard’s Berkman Center to track governmental Internet censorship worldwide. Ironically, MacArthur now advocates for censorship of anti-feminist views and other opinions it automatically deems “hate speech.”

  1. Whites are just plain lazy, and perhaps less intellectually endowed as Asians. The average score for Asian Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders on the SAT I math was 32 points higher than that for whites. For Asian-American students to gain admission to Harvard, they have to have SAT scores 140 points higher than white students. Is this fair? Why are whites so fucking dumb, or are they just lazy? Is there any hope for the white race?

  2. It is important for young minds to be exposed to the proper role models: Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, and Saul Alinsky. It is important for young people to organize for the defense and welfare of a just society.

  3. Murderers, Communist dictators, cop killers, radical Muslims and anarchist might be good examples for your kids, if you could figure out how to reproduce, but these are criminal retards, in my book.
