The Koch brothers have more than $42 billion to make public policy out oftheir anti-government ideology, and their assault against public educationepitomizes their tactics to remake our nation.

The Koch brothers founded Americans for Prosperity and have contributedmore than $5 million to its political coffers. Americans for Prosperity,in turn, contributed to organizations that financially influenced acommunity school board election.

Thats right: the Koch brothers are involving themselves, through theirwealth-backed political apparatus, in local schools.

Americans for Prosperity allied with groups in North Carolina with thesole purpose of building a new majority on the school board in and aroundRaleigh. The Koch apparatus was trying to rewrite the social contract thatmade the Wake County school system a magnet for teachers and families andthe surrounding communities prosper.

Each campus was its own melting pot where students could build meaningfulrelationships and find their niche. Advanced courses and after schoolactivities gave tens of thousands of children a path to higher educationand a shot at success.

Many families in the community attributed local prosperity and harmony tothe way the school district assigned students to schools.

That policy came under siege from the Koch brothers who, through Americansfor Prosperity, indirectly supported school board candidates whocampaigned on reversing the busing for diversity program. The outsideinvolvement made a school board election into the most divisive race sincethe 1970s.

The Koch brothers and outside influence provided the script for theKoch-supported candidates. They campaigned to end forced busing andpromise to enact a neighborhood schools mandate.

Do those phrases ring a bell? Using the same language Gov. George Wallaceused in the 60s, Koch-supported candidates in North Carolina are pushingto make public policy based on Wallaces segregation always pledge. Andthey had the Koch brothers and Americans for Prosperitys full support.

This is a new example of the Koch brothers so-called extreme free marketideology. Its an incredible window into the brothers disdain for publicservice and government protection in general.
