Throwing your money into a bureaucratic black hole
Last week, The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed about Mark Zuckerberg’s $100 million dollar gift to public schools in Newark, New Jersey. What happened to the money? The Facebook founder negotiated his gift with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and then-Mayor Cory Booker in 2010, and it flowed into Newark’s public-school system shortly thereafter. The bulk of the funds supported consultants and the salaries and pensions of teachers and administrators, so the donation only reinforced the bureaucratic and political ills that have long plagued public education in the Garden State.

Planned Parenthood’s problems have to do with facts that are not in dispute
I watched a good bit of the testimony that Cecile Richards offered to Congress yesterday, but I suspect that most Americans did not.
