Off the top of my head, you could make a nationwide collaborative blog for teachers/professors to voice their opinions and/or publish short educational pages. get some sponsors for it and funnel the money back into some kinda foundation/fun

if you have watched Zeitgeist you know exactly why they're investing more of "our money" into losers and a losing game. if you haven't then i didn't say anything, i love capitalism, and don't send the black helicopters please.
