Libertarian Adrian Wyllie calls out Jeb Bush, Neil Bush on profits from Common Core
Many parents in Florida are frustrated with Common Core, but are unaware of the connection to the Bush family, says the Libertarian candidate for governor.
Adrian Wyllie spoke at the Libertarian convention and CLTampa.com detailed his outing of the Bush money vested in Common Core.
“I’ve spoken one-on-one with legislators who I won’t name, who say, ‘yeah, I hate Common Core, but Jeb Bush is calling the shots on this one. We gotta do what Jeb says,'” Wylie said noting the former governor seems primed for a presidential run.
Wyllie, like many others, claim Jeb Bush is so supportive of the measure is because his brother Neil would profit.
“Neil Bush has a vested interest in one of the two providers of curriculum, textbooks and so forth that are authorized under Common Core,” Wyllie says. “It’s just another example of the corporation, the cronyism, the good ol’ boy network they have in Tallahassee.”
Last June, Karen Schoen detailed the Bush money and Neil’s progression from Ignite! to Common Core.
In 1999, Neil Bush co-founded Ignite! Learning, an educational software corporation. Bush has said he started Austin-based Ignite! Learning because of his learning difficulties in middle school and those of his son, Pierce. The software uses multiple intelligence methods to provide varying types of content to appeal to multiple learning styles.
Schoen details the funding, both from US investors as well as those from overseas.
As of 2006, at least $2 million had come from Taiwanese interests that had given Neil Bush a job consulting for a semiconductor manufacturer, and at least $3 million came from Saudi interests. A foundation linked to Reverend Sun Myung Moon donated $1 million for a research project by the company in Washington, D.C.-area schools.

Adrian Wyllie is the only sane choice. It’s hard to understand why anyone would want scott or crist again. Both failed miserably. Adrian deserves my vote (and yours too) simply because he is honest, along with many, many other good reasons. I believe all that is needed is name recognition and for people to know there is another choice beside the same old corrupt candidates. Support Adrian by donating to his campaign and also the super brochure program, which I think is very powerful. Visit his website today: http://www.WyllieForGovernor.com
