I’LL TAKE “SHAKEDOWN MONEY” FOR $100, ALEX: National Review has an intriguing report on the shady activities of a non-profit headed by Al Sharpton’s daughter, Dominque Sharpton, called Education for a Better America.
Even as Ms. Sharpton runs an organization focused largely on college preparedness and college education, it’s not clear that she herself is a college graduate. National Review confirmed that she has completed three semesters at Temple University but could find no indication that she obtained a degree. . . .
According to non-public tax records released by EBA to National Review, the bulk of the nonprofit’s $195,500 in 2014 revenue derived from corporate donors, many of which have also made hefty contributions to National Action Network.
It sounds like a boondoggle to me. The EBA’s website suggests it participates in a bunch of semi-useless career planning workshops and events that are co-sponsored with her father’s organization, National Action Network— you know, the one that gets “contributions” from big companies desirous of avoiding Sharpton’s ire.
