They did not ...
The Flexner Report of 1910 was commissioned and funded by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
The Rockefeller Foundation (via the General Education Board) stepped in to fund its sweeping implementation.
I am replacing that 3rd paragraph with...
> This was the domestic prototype. The mission was not about geography or race, but a specific mechanics of power: using standardization to dismantle decentralized, local traditions and replace them with a single, elite-controlled framework. When the Rockefeller Foundation exported this model to Asia, the script remained identical, even as the targets shifted. The mission was not simply to teach, but to reshape. Its application in Japan and China demonstrates a striking consistency in approach.
