COMER YATES - HUSBAND TO SALLY YATES

PART FOUR

JAMES M. COX FOUNDATION

In Part Three we learned that one of the major funders, at least for the Professional Development Center, (which I am thinking is like “Outreach” as to their efforts to spread their knowledge and techniques with people in the teaching and health care professions,) is the James M. Cox Foundation. Well, who is James M. Cox? He was quite an interesting character, it turns out.

https://www.coxenterprises.com/about-us/history

James M. Cox was born in 1870 and lived until 1957. He was a newspaper guy, and interested in politics. He was the Governor of Ohio. The Democrat Party put him forward as their nominee in 1920. His VP running mate was a young man named Franklin Delano Roosevelt. After losing, FDR continued with his political ambitions, and Cox doubled down on his newspaper interests.

He built an empire which included the Atlanta Journal and a big radio station among his many assets.

Bottom line: JMCox Jr took over his father’s Cox business empire, and nurtured it until it eventually grew into the much-beloved-by-all Cox Cable network - CoxMediaGroup. They have in addition to the media group, a few other subsidiaries.

In 1988, James M. Cox’s grandson, Jim Kennedy, took over the reins.
Yeah. They’ve got a lotta money, so they made a Foundation.

NANCY RIGBY IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE JAMES M. COX FOUNDATION.

“FOCUS AREAS: Conservation and environment, early childhood education, empowering families and individuals for success, health

PROFILE: Nancy Rigby is the president of the James M. Cox Foundation and previously served as the vice president. Rigby reports to Jim Kennedy, the chairman of Cox Enterprises. She has been in her current role since February 2017 and with the foundation since February 2012.

Before that, she was the vice president of Coxe Curry & Associations for over 22 years. This was an Atlanta-based consulting firm where she counseled non-profit organizations on fundraising, leadership, and organizational sustainability….”

“….She oversees the business management and administration of foundation operations. UNDER HER LEADERSHIP, THE JAMES M. COX FOUNDATION HAS CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $75 MILLION IN ATLANTA ALONE. THE GRANTS ARE EXPANDING ACCESS TO TRAILS, PARKS AND GREENSPACE, AS WELL AS PROVIDING HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS WITH FUNDING TO REINVENT PATIENT EXPERIENCES. COX’S INVOLVEMENT IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IS HELPING NARROW THE 30-MILLION-WORD GAP AND PREPARING CHILDREN FOR SUCCESS, WHICH ULTIMATELY LEADS TO BETTER COMMUNITIES AND ECONOMIES….”

I have no idea what “reinventing patient experiences” might mean to the Cox Foundation - and to the Atlanta School. Is this code for ObamaCare? Pink flag.

The reference to the “trails, parks, and GREENSPACE” is invocative of the verbiage located in the Agenda 21 and UN globalists’ papers about the herding all of us lesser creatures into the big cities and away from the rural areas. Her web page insists that the grants are to improve access... but she really doesn’t say for whom would the access be encouraged. People on the ground in Atlanta and Georgia could say whether that access is being granted to all and sundry as they imply. Also, while we are thinking of Agenda 21, remember that not far from Atlanta is a little thing called “The Georgia Guidestones,” Hot pink flag.

[It sounds familiar, but am somewhat unsure what the “30-million-word gap” means.

*Out of curiosity, texokie digs a small little side tunnel here:*

https://www.bundoo.com/articles/what-is-the-30-million-word-gap/

“The “30 million word gap” refers to a research study conducted by psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley. Their study showed that children from lower-income families hear a staggering 30 million fewer words than children from higher-income families by the time they are 4 years old.”

Ok - I’ve heard of this, and it seems to make sense. Unless someone can show me some dastardly nonsense about the 30 million word research study, I am not calling a pink or any colored flag on this part at all. There IS a need to stimulate the brains of the little ones in early childhood by immersing them in language. ]

As noted previously, with the James M. Cox Foundation funding of the professional development program, there are also some serious Big Communications connections made here between Cox and the Atlanta School.

Condition flag for the School may be bleeding from pale into a more definite shade of pink.
