The Clinton Foundation just advertised that it makes kids healthier by featuring a school in one of America’s wealthiest beach communities that accomplished its goals using programs and resources paid for by our taxpayer dollars.

Clinton Foundation (CF) frequently highlights outcomes of programs provided by Portland-based Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The CF website seems to indicate that the Alliance is a “program” of the Foundation. It is not. It is a completely separate organization. Clinton Foundation’s CEO Bruce Lindsey serves on its board.

Other than writing blog posts, press releases, and issuing “Memorandums of Understanding (MOU)s” with America’s corporate food purveyors, the CF provides little support to the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

I often get comments from diehard Clinton supporters who believe Republicans are the root of all evil. Note the signatory following President William J. Clinton. This gentleman is often seen on the news and he does come from the same hometown. This agreement guarantees keeping unhealthy corporate food in ALL our schools. They divided up the territories. THIS IS WHY THE KIDS ARE FAT. Bipartisan, multicorporate obesity support.

The Alliance reported $17.9 million in revenue on its 2014 tax return. Of this amount, $2 million was provided by the Clinton Foundation. This is about 11% of the Alliance’s budget for the year. $2 million is less than 1% of the Clinton Foundation’s reported 2014 revenue of more than $248 million.

In all recent Clinton Foundation annual reports this separate, much smaller organization based in the Pacific Northwest is prominently featured. The financial relationship (Clinton Foundation donates a modest portion of the budget each year) and organizational relationship (one shared board member) are never clearly described. To put this in plain English, no other charitable organization in this country prominently advertises its main achievement is something that it didn’t really pay for, done by a separate organization.

Yesterday, the Clinton Foundation, in its continued efforts to inform the public of the incredible amount of charitable good it does for nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in annual revenue/$2 billion over the past decade, featured a blog written by a Southern California elementary school principal about her school’s successful efforts to improve student health.

The school is Beryl Heights Elementary in Redondo Beach, CA.

With a population of slightly more than 66,000, Redondo Beach is one of the more pleasant areas to live in Los Angeles County, especially if weather, quality of life, beach access and low crime are the consideration. The median household income in Redondo is just under $100,000 a year. About 5.4% of the city’s residents live below the poverty line. The average home price citywide is just a hair under $1 million.

Beryl Elementary, however, is located in the highest-income area in the city. According to Trulia, the average sales price for a home in zip code 92077 was well over $1 million last year, an increase of more than $30,000 over 2014. The school serves students who live in a 20-block radius around Redondo’s pier and beach. This is one of Los Angeles’ most coveted areas. The average household income is $133,139. This zip code ranks 104 out of more than 1700 zip codes statewide, which means it is competitive with 90210.

The school population is not reflective of Los Angeles County’s rich diversity either.

There are many schools that could use and desperately need programs similar to the one advertised by the Clinton Foundation blog post.

I know a lot of them. They’re even located within five or six miles of the Redondo Beach pier and harbor.

As an author for the prestigious Huffington Post commented, “It seems like you have an axe to grind against the Clinton Foundation.”

Well yes, Mr. Author, I do.

That’s because I’ve never seen such massive contempt for common human decency and everything the majority of people in this country have worked to do for the past three decades.

This organization knows it’s under close scrutiny about what it has accomplished over its history.

And it reprints a blog about how kids got healthier because of …

A completely separate organization

With only token funding

at a wealthy school

in an ideal environment (safe, beautiful, great weather, beach)

with low diversity

in a high-performing school district (top 20 in California)

paid for by local and national government funding

I’m not sure how much clearer the callous disregard for everything related to the welfare of anyone in this country who isn’t rich and who can’t pay the Clintons could be.

They don’t care and they think everyone other than them, including our government and taxpayer-funded programs, are gullible fools.

The program that the school principal referred to isn’t created by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The Alliance is one of more than 150 nonprofit organizations that uses the program our government agency, the CDC, created. And — they didn’t use it easily either. They didn’t get with the program until four years after it was launched. Just glancing, I noticed they paid nearly $1 million in 2014 for computer services: assuming these are the internet program schools log into to “record” their progress.

The Clinton Foundation/Alliance take credit for passing along the “tools” created by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

You can read an earlier article about the Clinton Foundation and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation here. It documents the legal shenanigans that allow the Clinton Foundation to take donations from “healthy” food purveyors like Pepsi, Coke, Dr. Pepper Snapple, Monsanto, Tyson Foods and Kraft to keep their products in our schools, while the Alliance tells the public it doesn’t take donations from these types of businesses.

It would be shameful were it not so pathetic.

You are not hearing this news via traditional “Mainstream Media” because of many factors. 1) The reporters aren’t very qualified to assess the obvious deficiencies in Clinton Foundation’s programs, which would be clear to anyone working in nonprofit program design and assessment; 2) Even “anti-Clinton” media doesn’t really care about or understand charitable ventures or efforts.
