Teachers plan to protest Washington Post

The Washington Examiner reports:

D.C. teachers are planning a rally outside the Washington Post on Friday to protest the newspaper's link to a for-profit college and testing enterprise.

With posters and megaphones in hand, the Washington Teachers' Union says it will tell the Post that its relationship with Kaplan Inc. -- the major revenue source of the Washington Post Co. -- creates a conflict of interest that has slanted the newspaper's coverage of D.C. education reform.

Kaplan's for-profit colleges, test preparation programs and other offerings account for 62 percent of the Post Co.'s revenue.

This is a very interesting situation.
