CSF Baltimore Mentioned in Baltimore Sun Article and Letter to Editor

On April 13, 2006, CSF Baltimore was a main topic of Dan Rodricks’ column in the Baltimore Sun:
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-md.rodricks13apr13,0,3994362.column?page=1&coll=bal-home-columnists

In “Listen up Oprah: There are other ways to help city kids,” Mr. Rodricks suggests to Oprah Winfrey that in order to help “Baltimore children … being deprived of a good education,” she should “write a check” to CSF Baltimore.

This article was published just five days after CSF Baltimore board chairman Howard Baetjer’s letter to the editor of the Sun was published:

Mr. Baetjer argues that instead of having either city-level or state-level bureaucrats and politicians deciding where the money to pay for schooling goes, children’s parents should decide. (Mr. Baetjer’s mention of CSF Baltimore was cut from the published version of the article, but CSF Baltimore was identified in the by-line.)
