Last year I was introduced to Epstein as a potential @codeorg donor. I Googled him, saw he was a convicted sex offender, and ended talks. @MIT and @Joi should have done the same. Period.

Just because I rejected Epstein (and others too) doesn’t mean my every decision will be popular. We take funds from corporations and billionaires - inevitably one of my choices will be questioned.

When that day comes, I hope my supporters realize that rejecting a donor’s gift is like taking $ away from education to give it to that donor. Taking $ away from children’s education is not at all easy.

While I can’t promise my decisions will always be popular, they will never be secret like at
@MIT. Transparency is a core value at@codeorg, and our donors are public (unless *they* request anonymity).http://code.org/about/donorsShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This is a very good point and I applaud you for being able to say it publicly. As long as accepting that money dsnt result in favoring policies demanded by said (convicted) donor. Ultimately being honest where ur money is coming from is important.
