There’s a #schoolvouchers link to the #January6thReport. It centers around attorney Cleta Mitchell who led Trump’s GA pressure efforts after the vote. #BigLie
Mitchell is all over the final report:

Mitchell is also Board Secretary for the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, a huge #schoolvouchers backer out of Wisconsin that’s given $millions to voucher research and advocacy.

The Bradley Foundation is also financially the “extraordinary force” behind #BigLie efforts, per @JaneMayerNYer reporting @NewYorker.

As Mayer’s reporting notes, also central to #BigLie organizing and future election mischief are the Heritage Foundation and ALEC—key figures in spreading propped up #schoolvouchers data and voucher legislation at the state level, respectively.

That’s not shocking. Heritage is deep into message coordination with DeSantis and others in the GOP on “#woke” moving forward.

Speaking of future election mischief, Cleta Mitchell led poll-watching efforts in places like my own state of MI during #Election2022 coordinating with fmr State Sen Colbeck and others @clarajanehen @jonathanoosting @CraigDMauger

There’s also a direct Bradley tie to Tudor Dixon: her campaign chief Kyle Olson’s #Education Action Group was partly funded by Bradley. @Simon_Schuster reported on this over the summer:

Point is: remember that #schoolvouchers are not just some alternative #education policy to debate. It’s all part of a larger effort to undermine civic institutions. I wrote on this @DianeRavitch but see also @BisforBerkshire @Edu_Historian @EvieBlad
