And you know about my donations to anything and about my life? At least I understand DeVos has virtually no association with public schools and only got her position because she donated to the Drumpf campaign being put anywhere in control of education.

Didn't say you donated or not. Just mentioned poeple can.

The point is, you were complaining about education having been going to shit lately and then complaining about DeVos. As you just said she has no association with public school (I have to take your word, as I said, not following this story) so why are you bashing her already. You shoudl be bashing those that were in charge before that were taking us downards already. Who knows how this DeVos does. Maybe she will be worse, maybe the same, maybe better.

Point is, she is not the same as we have had and thus how can you already be hating her? I'm guessing cause some news program told you to.


You admittedly know nothing about Betsy DeVos, but you assume people hate her for no reason?  No.  It's because she has a sickening number of conflict of interests, has tried to dismantle the separation of church and state, doesn't understand basic education concepts such as the difference between growth and proficiency, wants to use public funds for religious schools, promoted policies in Michigan that has seen charter schools perform worse than public schools and caused a decline in education performance, has no expertise in the field of education, and bears no qualification beyond the millions of dollars she has donated to the republican party.  She is different from what we have in the sense that arsenic is different than what we usually eat for dinner.

There are plenty of great reasons to hate her.  If you admittedly know nothing about her or the situation, maybe you should take the time to educate yourself before commenting.
