You clearly don't know what you are talking about. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge was created ostensibly to improve Chicago's public schools. CAC funding came from a national education initiative by Ambassador Walter Annenberg. Ayers wrote a grant to get money from the foundation. He got the money and used it to promote his radical ideology for school children. No one ever said the Annenburg Foundation was a radical anti-American group. Improved reader comprehension would help.
