HEADS UP....Betsy DeVos' confirmation hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 11th.

[dixiegrrrrl]

Last week, President-elect Donald Trump nominated as Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, a billionaire and conservative mega-donor who has no classroom experience, and whose work in public education consists mainly of efforts to privatize it.

“In Michigan, we know firsthand how disastrous DeVos’s ideology is, as she has spent decades wielding her family’s money and influence to destroy public education and turn our schools and students over to for-profit corporations,” said Michigan Education Association President Steven Cook, who served as a paraprofessional in Lansing Public Schools for 15 years.

Pls phone your Congress folks, let them know how you feel.
Phone calls DO matter.

1. We need two repugs to flip on every confirmation hearing

That's doable for many of them.

2. Someone should ask which educational doctrine she prefers and why:

Arnold Gesell
Jean Piaget
B.F. Skinner
John Dewey
Friedrich Froebel
Margaret Naumburg

[longship]

3. AmWay, all the way!

Plus, a big bunch of Calvinist predestination. Of course, women have no reproductive rights. Grand Rapids is the world headquarters of the Dutch Reformed Church. The DeVoss family is the center of these lunatics. Half the buildings in GR are named DeVoss.

The entire family is looney toons. Google "BlackWater" to convince yourself.

BTW, the new DOE secy's maiden name is Prince.
