Educational research is a noble cause for the Dow Foundation to support. However, supporting the Mackinac Center is not supporting education, it is supporting an organization with an anti-government political agenda. There are many non-political organizations that would put the Dow Foundation grant to better use.  If you too believe that the Mackinac Center's agenda for public schools is harmful, join me in signing the petition asking the Dow Foundation to rescind their grant to the Mackinac Center and instead give it to a more qualified and more deserving institution.
