Leave education to the educators....we are all so screwed.

Just a vacuous, empty head with an extremist Xian brainwashing overlaid on her few brain cells.

Her brother is a real piece of shit too.

So not having free access to 'white colleges' was good for the black community...? Please tell me I am reading that wrong and it is just too early for my brain to work.

Why would she even want this job?

Here is a good article from Mother Jones:

Betsy DeVos Wants to Use America's Schools to Build "God's Kingdom"
Trump's education secretary pick has spent a lifetime working to end public education as we know it.

<snip>

For deeply devout people like Lanting and DeVos, education plays a key role in that mission. Since her nomination, DeVos hasn't had much to say about her faith—or whether she plans to defend the separation of church and state in public schools. (DeVos declined Mother Jones' request for an interview, but a Trump transition team spokeswoman replied in an email, "Mrs. DeVos believes in the legal doctrine of the separation of church and state.&quot However, in a 2001 interview for The Gathering, a group focused on advancing Christian faith through philanthropy, she and her husband offered a rare public glimpse of their views. Asked whether Christian schools should continue to rely on giving—rather than pushing for taxpayer money through vouchers—Betsy DeVos replied, "There are not enough philanthropic dollars in America to fund what is currently the need in education...Our desire is to confront the culture in ways that will continue to advance God's kingdom."

Added Dick DeVos: "As we look at many communities in our country, the church has been displaced by the public school as the center for activity...(I)t is certainly our hope that more and more churches will get more and more active and engaged in education."[/div]

(At least that is what I got out of her statement).

But I doubt many Trumpanzees will understand that bit of satire.

Thanks, Toomey!

What a prize collection of racist goons we have for a cabinet.

straight from the spin room. she is sick

I guess they will challenge Brown vs Board of Education.

STFU betsy. God!!!!! minority children are going to suffer another generation of racism, neglect, segregation. Thanks trump voters in all minority communities, you voted against your/our best interest(s) this time. And some of you are still proud of doing so.

striking a blow against Big Labor

She actually thinks this statement will gain her cred in the black educational community, I bet you.

She truly believes she's empowering AA's!

When she faces the backlash, I guarantee you she'll think, "I shoulda known! It just doesn't pay to be nice to those people"

Seriously! She really will...

to dismantle the department. This is Bannon's goal to dismantle everything.


They are just pure evil.

hoamskouling.

to supplement the sciencey stuff.

She probably has a season pass to the creation museum.

no wait, I partied my way through high school and college and still have way better critical thinking skills than this. I don't like to call names, but this lady is profoundly stupid.

SAD.

mistake. Maybe they are a shoutout dog whistle to the base. Hitler baited the jewish people all along. But since doing that outright would today be a bridge too far they do it and pretend it was a mistake. Now jewish false flags. I mean the people who are writing the speeches and press releases cannot be that badly informed can they? Oh. I guess I've answered my own question.
