Rockefeller funds education work in New Mexico meet resistance
The Rockefeller Foundation has spent about 100000 on educational research in New Mexico over five years.

The Santa Fe New Mexican argues such hostility is poor business and harms education, noting the need for outside funding in strained school finances.
