Black Education Leaders, Ph.D.s, Attorney, and former Senator and Christian Minister Re-enslave Black People: Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO) was "Founded by a diverse group of 50 dedicated black education leaders … (italics supplied)."

The organization promotes charter schools throughout America.

Advisors include Kenneth Blackwell, Brian Jones, Floyd Flake, and Dr. Rod Paige, Ph.D. - black men. Incidentally, according to a biography on the U. S. Department of Education's website, as Secretary of Education, Dr. Paige worked tirelessly to implement No Child Left Behind (NCLB) - which moves black children from school to prison.

The Milwaukee Chapter BAEO is chaired by Deborah M. McGriff, Ph.D. - a black woman, and chair for Philadelphia is attorney Keisha Jordan - a black woman.

BAEO's primary funding came from the Walton Foundation, John M. Olin Foundation, Lynde and Henry Bradley Foundation, and Jacqueline Hume Foundation also supported the organization. The U. S. Department of Education funds BAEO.

BAEO has chapters in the former slave states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Chair of BAEO's board is Dr. Howard Fuller - a black man. BAEO was built up by Lawrence C. Patrick III - a black man.

Therefore, because charter schools return black people to slavery by imprisonment;

and because BAEO proliferates charter schools, the 50 black education leaders, Kenneth Blackwell, Dr. Rod Paige, Dr. Mc Gruff, Ph.D., attorney Keisha Gordon, Dr. Howard Fuller, and Lawrence C. Patrick III are re-enslaving black people.
