Maybe Koch’s should learn a lesson from TEA Party conservatives. When the GrOPe and RNC crapola’s all over us and then hounds us for $$ for their ‘good will’ why then nothing but big fat circles are returned and perhaps with a few stray teabags included now and then.

Charles and David Koch really aren't that conservative. Sure, they support a number of conservative causes, but they also support liberal causes like gay marriage and legalization of pot.

Legalization of pot is a conservative position just as Prohibition was opposed by conservatives of the day.

“I have read that public schools in NY are now graduating a much higher percentage. Good for them. The problem is that they were just never given much of an education. I am sure Brooklyn College can do the same for them.”

I graduated from BC in the mid 70’s and at that time it was a very good school. I went back for a visit 25 years later and the campus was a wreck. Open enrollment had changed the composition of the student body to minorities and Russian immigrants. It was sad.

I am familiar Brooklyn College.

I recently heard that the public school system in NY has been bragging that they’re graduating a higher percentage of their students. The problem was that none of the could read or write.

It’s a shame what the left is doing to our schools.

If the Kochs want to hand out money, why not give them suggestions?

There may be method in their madness. Knowing that such schools as BC may decline their offers, they are looking like good nonpartisan citizens in making the offers. On the other hand, if they donate to Hillsdale or other (perceived) conservative institutions they should just keep quiet about it.
