Breitbart has made headlines and been criticized [1] for using heavily-edited and misleading video clips to smear the community organizing group ACORN, National Public Radio (NPR), and an Obama administration official in recent years.
A regular speaker at conservative Tea Party rallies, Breitbart hasn’t been shy with criticism of public schools and higher education, vowing in April to “go after teachers,” [2] especially those who support labor unions or reference readings Breitbart considers controversial, such as articles written by Marxists.
Breitbart’s main site, BigGovernment.com, has had a section dedicated to educational issues, but the blogger announced Aug. 23 in an interview with EAGtv [3] that BigEducation.com [4] would become its own website, “a platform for teachers who are in failing schools who want to change things, or parents or even the students themselves.”
