Ayers ‘coalition’ was ‘in biz’ since 1988....ehh? Same time Obama was doing his community organizing in Chicago.

Yet..we are suppose to believe that all that time, Obama never met Ayers or Bernadine once while he was doing his ‘community organizing’....until 1995?

BS!!

You must be using Lexus/Nexus...is that why you can’t link?

Keep up the great work btw!

SCHOOLS GET READY FOR ANNENBERG CHALLENGE ON INNOVATIVE EDUCATION
Chicago Tribune - June 23, 1995
Author: V. Dion Haynes, Tribune Education Writer.

Chicago principals and local school councils interested in innovative education are now invited to apply for a chunk of a $147 million award to make their ideas reality.

Officials of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge announced Thursday that they are accepting proposals from schools that want to make radical changes in the way teachers teach and students learn

“This is about the children of Chicago. This is about making the lives of the children of Chicago better,” said Annenberg Challenge board member Patricia Albjerg Graham , who is also president of the Spencer Foundation, a Chicago-based organization offering grants for educational research.

Barack Obama, a Chicago lawyer and chairman of the Annenberg Challenge board, added, “If we’re really going to change things in this city, it’s going to start at the grass-roots level and with our children.”

SCHOOLS GO AFTER WINDFALL - MILLIONS FOR REFORM COULD BE HOLIDAY GIFT
Chicago Tribune - October 23, 1994

Author: Charles Storch and V. Dion Haynes, Tribune Staff Writers.

A group of Chicago educators, foundation officials, community activists and others, including an assistant to Chicago Public Schools Supt. Argie Johnson, have worked this year on a grant proposal, which they hope to complete and submit by Nov. 1 to the Annenberg National Institute for School Reform at Brown University in Rhode Island.

Although only 150 of the city’s 550 public schools might be involved, the plan’s drafters believe the Annenberg schools would demonstrate benefits that could be adopted throughout the system within five years.

“We don’t want there to be a couple of schools that are shining lights and the rest a mess,” said Anne Hallett, executive director of the Chicago-based Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform and a longtime force in the local reform movement.

Hallett and William Ayers , an associate professor of education at University of Illinois at Chicago, began the campaign here for an Annenberg grant last December.

Ayers would like to see plans “addressing the huge number of kids in factory-like environments. We need to see creative ways of scheduling kids so they can learn in a smaller (classroom) environment and so teachers can have fewer students.”

He acknowledged that for such plans to work, administrators and the teachers union would have to waive rules establishing hours worked by teachers.
