Betsy DeVos is now the Secretary of Education

[Arntonach]

There's so many wrong things about that statement. RIP education for the next 4 years.

next 4 years? you mean the whole next generation and more right. you have a bad education and youre fucked for life

"Buy Pat Toomey's Vote" was a fun campaign to see appear

dude's absolutely determined to not listen to his constituents even after he got reelected by a rather thin margin

someone circulated faxzero to try to get his attention and that resulted in tens of thousands of faxes to his offices

i saw someone on my fb defend devos saying she's a supporter of considering local conditions rather than sweeping destruction of everything we know and love, but we do have her own local record to consider, which empirically showed no significant difference in educational outcomes given school choice options, so that's not reassuring to me
^ that also doesn't mean she has license to be ignorant of important issues/debates in education

this timeline can't be real

[Charu]

Yeah, I'm also at a loss.

I really don't know what to make of it but feel like this is only the beginning still.

[inDheart]

one other thing that feels cruddy about it is they delayed a confirmation vote on sessions so he could still vote on devos in his capacity as a senator

also the title of this thread says "besty"
