SAVING its SOUL and INTEGRITY - this NY college says NO to KOCH!! Unlike an estimated 150 colleges and universities that have taken $56 million from the billionaire libertarian industrialist Koch brothers since the 1980s—and then integrated their extreme right-wing agenda into business classes while censoring other views—the Brooklyn College of the City University of New York keeps rejecting Koch cash. (And a libertarian professor is pissed about it) The Kochs have been giving millions to academic institutions with a deliberate agenda to promote pro-corporate and anti-government philosophies, and hiding those requirements in their private grant agreements with BIG strings attached. Like vetting WHO teaches classes, WHAT subjects are taught, WHICH materials are used, almost ALL of which oppose regulation, oppose government and oppose labor - the three pillars of the Koch mantra. I wish MORE colleges would just SAY NO TO KOCH, and stop compromising the education that they provide their students, with capitalism brainwashing from Koch-funded lecturers. alternet.org/education/brooklyn-college-defends-academic-freedom-saying-no-koch-millions-its-business-school
