The Hispanic Council for Reform and Educational Options (HCREO) is a non-profit organization whose mission is "to improve educational outcomes for Hispanic children by empowering families through parental choice in education." [1]
According to the Department of Education's Office of Inspector General report on Department PR expenditures in fiscal years 2002 through 2004, HCREO received $900,000 in 2003 - 2004, to "promote school choice and tutoring options for Hispanic children. The products ... included handbooks, brochures, three op-eds, and an informational video. ... Two op-eds were published in the Dallas Morning News. The third op-ed was published in two Spanish-language publications, Al Día (Texas) in January 2004 and En USA (Florida) in April 2004. All three advocated a particular viewpoint and did not disclose ED’s [the Education Department's] role in their production." [2]
