I don't care as much about Sessions, but DeVos is just a whacko of a different order. I understand the Dept of Ed really does little when it comes to education, but I'd still like her not to be anywhere near it.
Meh...if it takes a whacko to get to full school choice, then I'll take a whacko for a couple years.

Public education is broken. We need an entirely new system. :nod:

YAS! Every Trump event has so much hot tail everywhere.

From fat baboons to supermodels. America is already greater.

I have issues with ed too and I'm being persuaded by the argument to abolish the DOE and return to greater local control. But she is NOT the person to do this. She's a religious fanatic who has shown a propensity toward using federal funding to benefit religious and for-profit education. She admitted as much in her hearing...that charter schools wouldn't be held to the same federal standards as public schools.

She also didn't understand Franken's question regarding growth vs proficiency in education. Admittedly, I would have stumbled too but I'm not nominated for SOE and if I were, I would have probably boned up on it.

No thanks...

Jesus he's a buffoon. That was pretty good :lol:

The previous two Sec of E's were nuclear physicists and one a Nobel Prize winner.

We now get Rick F. Perry, a college cheerleader who admittedly is in wonderment at what the DOE actually does...after wanting to abolish it.

This might be the least qualified cabinet ever but a wish them well!

All of these appointees that are creating the hand wringing and panic attacks are not actually a problem...
These people need to be confirmed immediately sworn in and dumped into their new jobs STAT

And good luck

In very short order (see Rick Perry) they will be in meetings where they have no idea what's going
and will be doing actual jobs - much UNLIKE their present sugar coated semi-vacations

This will be just fine
They will be tasked to LEARN new things
and meet with sincere hard working professionals

:nod:

And if you go to a middle or upper class area the public schools are just fine. Strange how that works!
