Betsy DeVos, Trump’s Education Pick, Has Steered Money From Public Schools

New York Times: "It is hard to find anyone more passionate about the idea of steering public dollars away from traditional public schools than Betsy DeVos, Donald J. Trump’s pick as the cabinet secretary overseeing the nation’s education system."

Meet Betsy DeVos,

• Billionaire
• No Education degree
• No teaching experience
• No experience working in a school environment
• Never attended public school or state university
• Never put her own children in public school
• Does not believe in or support public education
• Believes that public school teachers are overpaid
• Supports for-profit education
• Invested $200 million in Christian schools and organizations
• Doggedly advocates funneling money out of public education and into for-profit Christian-based education
• Donated $9.5 million to Trump's campaign

Here is the question you should be asking yourself, should your tax dallors go to a private school that denies science?

If its a voucher that I can choose the school for my child, then yes, absolutely. Public schools fail a lot of kids regardless of your belief of religious indoctrination, and many Christian/religious schools perform much better, and are cheaper for tax payers.
