Who Is Backing "The Bell Curve"?
Miner, Barbara
Educational Leadership, v52 n7 p80-81 Apr 1995
The Bradley Foundation paid coauthor Charles Murray $1 million to write "The Bell Curve." This support typifies the highly ideological research favored by conservative foundations seeking to mold public policy. The book's key educational policy recommendation dovetails with Bradley's top educational priority: support for school choice and vouchers to finance privileged children's education. (MLH)
