Report: Koch Brothers’ ‘Wu-Teach Clan’ pushing high-schoolers to embrace conservatism
Billionaire activists Charles and David Koch have financed and participated in the making of programs designed to steer high-school students in Georgia, Kansas, and Missouri toward embracing conservative business principles, the Huffington Post reported on Wednesday.
The programs are administered through Youth Enterprises, which was founded by Charles and Elizabeth Koch in 1991 and has been funded by foundations connected to the two Kansas natives. The organization reported assets of more than $1.45 million as recently as 2012.
According to the Post, the program was conceived in 1989 as a way to lead participants toward becoming “liberty-advancing agents” while still in high school, before they could learn “harmful” progressive concepts after enrolling in college.
Lesson plans involved in the course reportedly advocate a lack of government regulation over the business sector, while opposing both the minimum wage and public assistance programs.
