Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is opening the doors of his first preschool, the Bezos Academy. It's the first location of a network of tuition-free preschools serving children in underserved communities spearheaded by Bezos' philanthropic arm, Day One Fund.

The Amazon CEO announced the details in an Instagram post on Tuesday: It's the first location of a network of tuition-free preschools serving children in underserved communities spearheaded by Bezos' philanthropic arm, Day One Fund. View this post on Instagram This classroom is just the beginning. The @bezosacademy opens its doors on Oct. 19th. This one in Des Moines, WA, is the first of many free preschools that we'll be opening for underserved children.

The selection process for the locations of the preschools are based on a wide range of data, the fund says, which include income levels, participation in free and reduced-cost meal programs, and gaps in access to licensed childcare providers. The"Montessori-inspired" preschool will operate year-round, five days a week, during which"the child will be the customer.

The primary purpose of philanthropic organizations is to deceive us into thinking capitalism is philanthropic.

DAYONEAP you better sue this mf

Villages of Vardenis Region Gegharkunik province, Armenia, peaceful population r under targeted shelling now by Azerbaijani military. This morning civilian bus bombed in same region.Alarming information received 2 OmbudsArmenia hot line by civilians&confirmed officially!

SnowWhite7IAM Communism 101 for preschoolers? Or Critical Race Theory? Both?

And the kids will receive inclusiveness training by sitting in rows and raising their hands to speak

1752American Oh Brother, another Billionaire coming to save the world.

SnowWhite7IAM This should strike fear into the heart of every loving parent. They want the children. We cannot ever allow this to happen. Not to even 1 poor child whose parent is ignorant

A is for Amazon, your very best friend...

It's frightening. Just pay your damn fair share of taxes, Bezos JeffBezos. Don't want you running schools.

Indoctrinating consumption before the age of reason.

You should mention how much they cheat on their taxes in these stories. Help people understand how he can afford to be so “generous.”

SnowWhite7IAM Omg the scares me to death!

SnowWhite7IAM Scary. Why would he be concerned with little children in poor neighborhoods? What is the real operation going on here?

Why not just pay taxes?JeffBezos

How come pay taxes statement is related with he contributing towards education? Side note- He is marking one of the biggest contributions in changing lives using power of business. Let’s all find opportunities how we can contribute and make changes!

always like to leave this here

Nope.

OR you can just pay your fucking taxes.

There is going to be a thousand foot high solid gold statue of Jeff bezos someday in the not too distant future. It is going to be a shitty future.

Pay your fair share of taxes. Instead he’s opening schools as tax write offs to stay rich.

Glad he doing good for the kids but the tax right off is gonna be incredible which he very much so aware of.

This is how genetic classism starts.

Why the hell would he open preschools?

Artists rendering of “independent study time” at the Bezos Academy

morgfair THAT'S A GOOD START TO SHOW THAT HE CARES, UNLIKE TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS!!!

This sounds like a dangerous precedent to set

but will the preschoolers be able to take bathroom breaks?

Oh good. So he’s going to start collecting data on the preschoolers too?

burn it down

Hey JeffBezos how about you just pay your employees minimum wage and pay your taxes?

How is this news and not advertising?

This is bullshit. Tax him appropriately and fund public schools

This!

Can’t wait to take my future kids there...

No thx😳

Since we're talking about Trump not paying taxes, which we absolutely should be, can we also talk about the richest man in the world not paying taxes? If this one man paid his fair share, we could have a different country. That's how rich he is. TaxBezos

He shoulda named the school The Bozo Academy smh

Any time a big organization reaches out to “underserved” youth a bunch of kids end up missing or abused. I hope Besos really is trying to help, but keep an eye out for these kids!

Just pay your damn taxes, Bezo.

Gotta start the indoctrination process while they’re extremely formidable

Yet another wealthy person who wants to 'give back' by controlling education rather than paying your taxes (or an appropriate wage) among other things so these 'underserved' communities don't need your 'help.' This is not philanthropy this is saviorism

That's great and all but pay your taxes. Probably able to create 100 schools with money lol

Hey. CNN why don’t you do a story about how. JeffBezos doesn’t pay any taxes!

I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of amazon super center opens up around the area soon. 😋

Amazon not only didn't pay tax in 2018, it claimed a 129,000,000 tax rebate.

PRESTE ATENÇÃO .Você nem precisa ser economista para saber que sem dinheiro em circulação não há emprego, renda, consumo, produção nem arrecadação para manter os gastos do governo. A previsão mais otimista é para 2030.

Where’s the coverage of this. 2016 VP Joseph Biden

The Hitler youth reborn.

Will CNN CEO send his kids to a free tuition fee school (hand out). Program designed to create substandard education to certain group of people.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Not another rich pedo...hope not

Pedoo school, have to get their victims some where!!

That’s exactly what we need. There are so many good things Millionaires can do. Thanks.

Let the brainwashing continue

Is this where Antifa training will start?

refuses 2 make a decision 2 fly brianstelter into Venezuela & see if he can interview President Maduro. Breaking views, due to coronavirus brian is off the hook, for now. Brian won’t go.

Well since he’s not paying taxes I’m glad he’s doing this since the SYSTEM WONT!! The same system that swore to us that it would protect and serve the people. It would be so much better if he paid taxes and the gov reallocated that money to necessities

who the heck even goes to preschool anymore lol

Oh my, little robots will be coming out of that school.

Imagine how many schools the government could have paid for if this bozo actually had to pay his fair share of taxes!

May the Lord protect children against the anti-religion anti-American anti-life ideological poison he will pour in those innocent souls without them even being aware of it. I hope no mother accepts this brain washing offer. There is no free lunch much less from this greedy man

Be better if he paid his workers a living wage.

Boring

This just means that one very rich person is going to be deciding what is good for impoverished people. No Thanks! This gives him a lot of power. Democracy Not Oligarchy!!

We should just tax him and give a quality education to all kids

Nice press release you wrote there

just pay taxes, homie

The billionaire gambit: - Create social problems thru inhumane business practices - Frame yourselves as heroes for “philanthropically” throwing a little money at the problems that you created - Worsen social problems thru ongoing inhumane practices & dehumanizing policy advocacy

Love this. More, please.

Or he could pay taxes that would do this for all children. Not hard

Just pay taxes

We have that in NYC— 3K— and the city pays for it for everyone.

I am in Africa but anytime I watch tucker Carlsons show..I see the truth.that guy is intelligent, straight to the point,speaks facts..these are lacking in CNN.

Probably a front for pedophiles

To put this in proper perspective, he got this at an extreme discount price from what he would realistically be paying into public education because of the loopholes in the US tax code.

Or .... hear me out .... the most minimal of taxes on his $100 billion fortune.

Where can I get a philanthropic arm? Sounds exciting!

We don't need a billionaire savior, we need a functioning government.

The rich and powerful are such horrible people.they want to influence the children of the poor and brainwash them.

If people doesn’t work for him he wouldn’t have a business. It’s a choice to work for Amazon or not

Yuck.

Sure, go ahead, let’s brainwash more children! VoteTrump2020ToSaveAmerica ConfirmAmyConeyBarrett

Great initiative, congratulations JeffBezos 🎊👏🍀

Will he teach them to replace themselves with robot students that cost less?

Just pay taxes. Thanks.

Creepy

Taxes do this same thing.

RN_JW733 Why not take that money and fund however many Washington State Public Schools instead?

Just fucking pay your taxes Jeff.

Pay your taxes and anyone/everyone can get an education.

'A is for Amazon, the best company ever. B is for Buy, what you should do all the time at Amazon. C is for Computer. The Computer is your friend...' 😉

Pay his workers first, with health care, etc.

It’s a start

Commendable aspirations. Hope we could get one in Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Be cool if people actually properly funded all schools

Who pays tuition for preschool?

Is it Professor X or Doctor X that build an academy for the X-Men ? He looks like that guy ...

Someone is looking for more tax breaks.

Or he could pay taxes so all schools can have better resources. (or roads, or bridges, or housing, or a million other things required by a nation) Instead he gets another tax dodge.

Taxes can do that and they’ll probably let you put your name on some schools. Pay your share, Bezos.

etanaon_ Amazon naik nih

Gross. Maybe he could just pay his taxes.

I'd be having a look at their curriculum

How very privileged of HIM

Bravo!!

Looks like *someone* realized he looks like the world’s most notorious asshole and went about trying to patch things up in the most transparently egoistic way possible

Your drivers deserve insurance...

Bezoar!!!

Ghoul

Who cares except the media. It’s gonna close next “as soon as It’s not relevant” weekend. Or his kid grows up

Well, that’s better than nothing. Hold on a second: 2 of 202 billions for the day one fund... that’s even less than 1%

Amazon is one of the companies that do not have to pay taxes under current tax laws. I also work for such a company. I’m glad he gives back. When you lift up a person you lift up all people.

Mr. Jeff Bezos is one of the most successful and brilliant genius of this generation. He’s earned every dime he ever made the hard way by working and using his brain; Come to think of it, why don’t we all write in his name on our ballots for president of these United States.

We don’t need the crumbs of billionaires to build pet projects with their names on it. Billionaires need to pay taxes. Their companies need to pay living wages. Billionaire charity is no way to run a railroad.

WHAT?! Ugh. Leave education alone. Just keep focusing on space or whatever.

nice

Another organization he can avoid taxes with?

How about donating yo public education

Aka a free indoctrination center for whatever bullshit he wants to push

Tax write off

No thank you. Don’t need my “white kid” thinking there’s something wrong with them after they indoctrinate.

I wonder what the education will look like...

Pay your fair fucking share of taxes and this wouldn't be necessary!

If Lord Sauron simply paid his taxes, then communities could decide what is needed in their own schools.

Time to make taxation truly progressive. Billionaires are a threat to democracy.

as a preschool teacher for many years, I hope his staff will be paid correctly and fairly. and that the children in their care succeed and be loved and happy.

They’ll be even better trained commies than Antifa...

So it’s basically a charter school

O'Biden will end school choice

Pedos Academy

More Socialist indoctrination. Nothing is free.

yeeeeaaaahhhh no

Ha! Try harder, 175 billion.

Now that's not an obscene or perverse way to use your wealth and power. I generally find outrageous wealth to be revolting.

This is why Trump hates Bezos.Trump doesn’t understand how your filthy rich and he’s not. Trump is rich to those who wish they had 1 million so they all praise him because he richer than the average poor person. If they only knew Trump living high off America

Indoctrinate the kids from an early age Amazon could do no wrong and CNN is fine with this

Let the indoctrination begin.

Got to indoctrinate them early

Why so mean everyone? This is great thing and I wish you all the success with this program. Also, pay sone taxes and give your employees a raise. Thank you!

The indoctrination must start early...

Where kids are taught stacking, sorting, & rich asshole billionaires like Bezos don't kick in for sick leave for their employees.

Oh great can everybody from this filthy flophouse sign up?

This was my idea if I ever became a billionaire -- I hate this guy, but good on him!

Gotta indoctrinate kids at an early age.

I ❤️ this

Crumbs off the floor from the rich man's table. 😴

Demorou hem!!!

More appropriate name would be The School of Liberal Indoctrination

The GOP Party of DEATH is going to have a fit. Amen

i love hearing my liberal attorneys debate about your articles - gives me hope

He needs to pay his taxes so that our government cN properly fund education system. I am tired of all these billionaires trying g to clean their reputations by giving money. Their tax $$$ would be much larger and do more. taxtherich

He can spend his money WAY better than the government can

Going the old Clinton route, eh?

He's a visionary man. In 15 years or so, those children will be Amazon Prime members

Nice. I hope he makes more money!!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

can only imagine what kind of pro-amazon/bezos/etc stuff will be pushed at the Bezos schools scary stuff

Ezekiels Rapture Dreams part 1 and part 2 Watch clip below...

the best a person can do with money ,status ,position and strength to serve as to educate the people and mostly underserved children.

Bravo! I pondered, it’s a great blessing for the undeserved communities. And, Jeff Bezo, is doing the right thing.

Or... just hear me out... he could pay an appropriate amount of taxes?

No thanks

SO HE WORKERS WILL GET DAY CARE NOW?!

John 15:12-14 (KJV) This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Thank you

We’re totally f*ed. When will people wake up and see the fraud and consolidation of power with the few?never is my guess. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Leftist brainwashing, get em while they're young I guess.

' Philantropic '....very interesting this adjective next to Bezos.....the world doesn't need Bezo's charity. Amazon must pay the workers a right wage and pay the taxes....that's all.

Just one? C’mon Jeffery, you can do better than that.

What a monster!

Wonder if they have a Willy Wonka kind of thing going on to be able to be picked?

JeffBezos starts to brainwash kids

This is a million times more effective than him giving more money to the US government.

Indoctrination of socialism...no thanks!!

I’d love to see the curriculum

Has 2000x the money of Trump, and doing more for African Americans than the POTUS

Are we sure this guy isn't Lex Luthor?

Do more. Billionaire.

I find this nefarious philanthropy. Controlling education is the first step to thought control.

Gotta start that indoctrination young.

My heart hopes this is out of the goodness of his heart, but my mind wonders if it’s more so for a tax deduction and indoctrination 😬

Our generation will be judged not by how many billionaires it created but by how much hunger was eradicated. The key is not donations but sharing as a way of life. The future of our planet depends on nations learning to share and cooperate together.
