    I can’t find anything on this “Center For Education Promise,” and it reads like a hit job once all of the friendly disclaimers are finished.

    I’d be very interested to know what exactly this “think tank” is. Their Manifund page suggests they’re little more than three people who mostly write substack blogs.

      Disclaimer: I think Jack, Thomas and the others are doing useful work. I have contributed two articles to their Substack. I don&#x27;t think the number of people involved in an organization should determine how seriously we take that organization.
