	Teaching and Learning
		Bradley's ultimate agenda, openly admitted, was to sustain a voucher driven system of schooling in Milwaukee until the state could begin to subsidize the system with public tax dollars.
		Referring to Bradley’s systematic practice of targeted giving, a 1997 report for The National Committee for Responsible Philanthropy stated, “it would be difficult to overstate the influence of the John M. Olin and Bradley foundations on public attitudes and policies.
		In 1995, Bradley endowed AEI with $740,000, and Heritage with $875,000 (Schuman, 1997).

		Harry Bradley established five trusts in 1944, as a receptacle for profits from the Allen-Bradley Company, a manufacturer of high quality radio components and electronic controls used to run industrial motors, generators, and turbines.
		Milwaukee is the Foundation's headquarters, and, in 1989, the Wisconsin State Legislature passed a limited public-private school choice program, which was challenged, in the courts by the Wisconsin Teachers Union, the NAACP and the ACLU.
		Bradley and Thompson also fear this coalition because one of the goals of the Casey project, actualized in Baltimore, is an increase in the minimum wage, to a "living" emolument of $7.70 per hour accompanied by requiring health benefits for city workers and sub-contractors, which is anathema to Bradley's "laissiz faire" tradition.

		"From Alfred Nobel to Sir John Templeton to the Bradley Foundation, smart philanthropists have recognized that high-prestige, high-dollar prizes are a superb way to achieve their missions — by rewarding, publicizing, and strengthening the individuals and institutions that most effectively advance the donors' principles," says Adam Meyerson of the Philanthropy Roundtable.
