Milt Rosenberg’s two-hour interview on WGN Radio last night with Kurtz revealed some of the agenda behind a late 1990’s Chicago public school program, of which Barack Obama was Chairman. Stop the ACLU has the details: Obama-Ayers: Failed chicago schools Under Ethnic Identity Agenda.
The University of Illinois released documents yesterday that propelled this conversation forward. Barack Obama and Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers, who spent a number of years on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List, were the leading powers behind a massive educational reform for the city of Chicago. Then Secretary of Education, William Bennett stated that the Chicago educational system was the worst in the Nation.
William Ayers prepared the proposal that got the seed money for the education reform program that would become the Chicago Annenberg Challenge – some $50M from the Annenberg Foundation, which was then matched by philanthropists and business interests – to total over $100M for Chicago’s failing school system.
With the money came the need for a organization – hence the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) was formed. The Chairman of the Board was Barack Obama. William Ayers was an ex-officio board member. The two attended meetings together…how often is not yet known.
Obama and Ayers presided over a very powerful political duo: The CAC headed by Obama and The Collaborative, co-chaired by Ayers.
It allegedly worked like this: “Programs” would apply to the CAC for an educational grant. Some programs were chosen, and others were not. Before the CAC was disbanded, almost all, if not all, of the monies were spent.

Prepare to be utterly amazed that the guy in charge of this, whose judgment and character was so flawed as to closely and actively collaborate with an unrepentant terrorist that bombed U.S. government buildings, is now the Democratic nominee for President of the United States of America. America absolutely must wake up to the fact that what went on at Annenberg Challenge is a harbinger of Obama’s agenda should he be elected.
