Now They’re Saying It in Public: Professor At Koch-Funded University Department Calls For ‘Less Democracy’
‘By now, it’s common knowledge that the Koch Brothers more or less own the Republican Party – having spent twice as much in election 2012 as the top ten unions combined.
But a lesser-known aspect of Koch influence is their spending on ideological warfare. The Kochs not only spend big in our elections, but they also finance a network of think tanks, advocacy campaigns, and even educational curricula in order to spread their message.
One example is George Mason University (GMU). Last year, a group of students protested the fact that the Charles Koch Foundation, which is the university’s single largest donor, has given at least $23 million to the school since 2005.’
