I was contacted last week by a writer for “Inside Philanthropy” to comment on the Gates Foundation’s new program to fight poverty. My response was that I was pleased to see that the foundation was acknowledging the need to combat poverty after wasting billions on the Common Core and teacher evaluation.

I thought it was a good sign. I didn’t realize when I was asked how very little the foundation was committing: $158 Million over four years. Compare that to the foundation’s expenditure on Common Core, probably $2 Billion. And that was a disaster.
