FedEx Offering TFA Holiday Joy ($$$)

FedEx has a thing for Teach for America:

2009

2008

And now for the holidays in 2013:
Starting Nov. 1, FedEx will kick off the “FedEx One Rate, Countless Possibilities Through Education” promotion, giving customers across the United States a simple way to give the gift of education. Through Dec. 23, $1 from every FedEx One Rate transaction will be donated to Teach For America, up to $200,000, helping to fund training for 11,000 teachers serving 750,000 students in underserved communities across the country.
These "countless possibilities through education" are surely about all the countless $$$ TFA continues to hoard from hapless donors and U.S. taxpayers.

Maybe we should agree to use FedEx if they'll take on the TFA corp members as holiday temps instead of our schools...

Please ship wisely.
