OUSD Board
Mark Bucher is CEO
of California Policy Center
That radical OUSD Board headed by
Marty Jacobson used numerous political tactics to wage a radical religious and political
war using educational tax dollars making Greater Orange at that time a national
joke.
Fast forward to 2010-nine years
after both the 2001 Recall and then the November 2001 election (when the
recalled Trustees tried to win there seats back). A new organization called the
California Policy Center is formed with familiar Bucher themes:
anti-public education and anti-union.
Not surprisingly, Mark W. Bucher
is listed as the Chief Executive Officer of
the Tustin
California Policy
Center .
Unlike the openly political Educational Alliance that sought
political offices for their supporters, the California
Policy Center is a "501c3 non-profit charity". That means that
they may not be involved in politics. Doing so and they would lose their
non-profit status.
On August 12th in the Orange
County Register Op-Ed pages, Mississippi
State college senior Ethan Musser
described as a "Journalism Fellow at
the California Policy Center " took on a two very political issues: the 2016
OUSD Bond and the 2001 Orange Recall.
While Musser tried to spin the methodically
legal OUSD Administration procedures leading up to the unanimous vote of Trustees for the Bond as leally challenged by
surprisingly quoting of all people former Villa Park Councilwomen Deborah Pauly-
even more surprising was Musser's trying to redefine the 2001 Orange Recall as benevolent Trustees under Marty Jacobson
trying to save "cash for new buildings
and maintence of old buildings" .
That revisionist history was immediately
challenged the same day the Op-Ed appeared (click on MUSSER). Local social media emails included poking fun at the
Musser Op-Ed comparing the revisionist history to Trump's "I was being sarcastic" quotes.
The website of the California Policy Center describes what contributions
to the organization provide:
Your generous donation to the California Policy
Center goes directly
towards securing a more prosperous future for all Californians. It's
because of our supporters that we are able to conduct research studies and
investigative reports, wage aggressive media campaigns, and educate
policymakers and voters alike. We are the only institute in California exclusively
focused on showing how government unions are destroying our public schools and
bankrupting our cities.
An example of those "aggressive media campaigns"
they wage can be found on the website. Take for example the recent City of Stanton local tax series.
Here is the opening for an article about Stanton
by Will Swaim:
April 21, 2016/by Will
Swaim
STANTON, Calif. – It
was a Wednesday afternoon in early March, a more innocent time in Stanton,
California. Gathered in the community center of the Plaza Pine Estates, we were
like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before they ate the apple that gave
them a second-grader’s sense of good and evil.
