The Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation has provided philanthropic support to The 74, which I co-founded. I sit on the board of directors of the American Federation for Children, which Betsy DeVos chaired before her nomination.
Devos funded the website. They sit on a board together that Devos chairs. There is nothing objective about that article.
Trump believes there is a superior race: I'd bet dollars to doughnuts there are some in here who agree.
You are still factually wrong. Keep digging. The board: https://www.the74million.org/page/supporters Jonathan Alter is an award-winning, widely published author, reporter, columnist and television news analyst... His work has appeared in many national publications, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The New Yorker. Since 1996, Alter has been an analyst and contributing correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC. Romy Drucker is co-founder and CEO of The 74. Prior to launching The Seventy Four, Drucker worked at the New York City Department of Education on Mayor Bloomberg’s transformational Children First reforms. Jonathan Perelman is the vice president of BuzzFeed Motion Pictures... Perelman was Cory Booker’s foreign policy advisor for his 2013 U.S. Senate campaign... Andrew J. Rotherham is a co-founder and partner at Bellwether Education, a national non-profit organization working to support educational innovation and improve educational outcomes for low-income students. He is also the executive editor of Real Clear Education, part of the Real Clear Politics family of news and analysis websites, writes the blog Eduwonk.com, and is the co-publisher of “Education Insider,” a federal policy analysis tool produced by Whiteboard Advisors. Rotherham previously served at the White House as special assistant to the president for domestic policy during the Clinton administration and is a former member of the Virginia Board of Education. He was education columnist for TIME and a regular contributor to U.S. News and World Report. (Bellweather partially funded by Bill & Melinda Gates) Howard Wolfson is instrumental in the policy and political universe of Mike Bloomberg, running the former New York City Mayor’s SuperPAC and advising him on politics and communication. In addition, he leads Bloomberg Philanthropies’ education program. From 2010-2013, Wolfson was the New York City Deputy Mayor for Government Affairs and Communications. Known as the “architect of Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate victory,” Wolfson was the communications director of her history-making run for the presidency in 2008. He has worked in and out of government, serving as Chief of Staff to Congresswoman Nita Lowey, now the senior-most Democrat on the US House of Representatives’ Appropriations Committee, and as the Executive Director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Wolfson has worked on campaigns at every level of government, advising Charles Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Andrew Cuomo, among others.
Again, they sit on a board together that Devos chairs. Devos gives money to the website you're putting so much faith in.
Wrong. LEADERSHIP BOARD OF DIRECTORS Betsy DeVos, Chairman, Grand Rapids, MI John F. Kirtley, Vice Chairman, Tampa, FL H. Lee Barfield, II, Nashville, TN Campbell Brown, New York, NY Kevin P.

That's not the same organization. D'oh? Get it yet? I thought the big red text naming one organization and your own bolded text naming a second, separate one might have been a clue. Or the link to Brown's organization and very different board might be, too. It's shocking that children/ education advocates might know one another!
I get it. But you said they didn't sit on ANY board together. I showed you that they do. Also Devos gives money to her and her website. The very website that wrote this amazingly factual article on Devos. ... Like I said, if the Clinton foundation were pulling this shit you'd be the first one to point out that the article is nothing but a fluff piece.
I said no such thing. You're wrong about that, too. And about the oceans being dead. This is a woman who worked for Clinton News Network, runs her own charity, and hired a bunch of other democrats and clinton operatives.
I'm sorry, is this not you? Do I have to show you again that the woman who wrote the fluff piece sits on a board chaired by Devos? Do I have to show you again that the woman who wrote the fluff piece on Devos was paid money by Devos?
They don't sit on a board that Devos chairs. Just Brown did. Devos isn't the sole funding for Brown. Maybe not much at all. Brown's board has some high profile rainmakers in their own right. You're backpeddling now. Beats digging. It's a good thing she actually knows the woman and has worked with her. Lends a lot of weight compared to sore losers who don't know squat about her, posting on social media.
I will say this about Devos, she has released FAR MORE information about her and her family's financial holdings and interests than our soon to be president has. http://www.gongwer.com/public/devosdisclosure.pdf
From the looks of her foundation and its activities, Devos sure loves kids. http://www.dbdvfoundation.org/
