The response here is "It's all legal!"  Just like the neo-cons,  Bersin 
apparently assumes we're all too stupid to see the moral and ethical  aspects of 
his situation.  He was an employee of a school district, which  has restrictions 
on his public activities as their representative.  So,  he uses corporate 
foundation funding, from very political entities, to do the  things that he wants 
to do in order to avoid review by his employers.   Now what would Bersin have 
said to a San Diego teacher who tried to do the  same thing, that is who 
attempted to speak for the school district or a school  at a public event?

Your attempts at character assassination are as pathetic as they are futile  
and ill-informed.  Among other things, this arrangement saved the  taxpayers 
money because they did not have to reimburse Bersin's travel  expenses and 
other expenses.  Foundations of various kinds are  common in large districts and 
even in smaller ones.  And what's  this nonsense about speaking for the school 
district?  Ever hear of  "teachers' unions"?  Does the school board authorize 
their public  communictions?
