I had seen Street Fight, the academy award nominated documentary about Cory Booker's 2002 campaign for Mayor of Newark. AFAIK, the film doesn't specifically mention where his campaign funding comes from -- certainly not from the charter school cheerleaders. So this lecture really put a damper on the optimism that I got from that movie.
