Would you trust Neil Bush with your money? I don't know if he has done anything wrong, but he has in the past, and seems to be exploiting his relationships with his family a'la Billy Carter. If you buy a curriculum in a school district, often there are some intractable commitments in terms of keeping everything updated and training your educators. That usually means additional contracts.
I don't know if it is a right/left issue. It is just peculiar, and sounds icky.
