I just removed a paragraph that was recently added the article. The paragraph started "While serving at Teach For America, Kevin Huffman came under fire for being unable to account for funds which were received from taxpayers." I was sourced to a 2008 news story on CBS News.[1] The subject was an inspector general's report about lax accounting for government funds at Teach For America. Kevin Huffman was TFA vice president at the time and was interviewed by CBS. I pulled the paragraph because it thought it was blown out of proportion -- and it misrepresents the source. IG reports like that one are not uncommon. More importantly, Huffman was not indicated to be personally responsible for the situation -- he was just the guy that CBS interviewed. Publishing a statement that suggests otherwise would be very inconsistent with Wikipedia policy, including the policy on biographies of living persons (WP:BLP), as well as the general principle of avoiding undue emphasis (WP:UNDUE). --Orlady (talk) 02:00, 21 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
