On CSPAN. I anticipate this will be pretty lively. She is a big threat to everything the teacher's unions stand for.

i'm excited as shite about this pick because she's going to put a big arse dent in JBE's war against school choice and charter schools in Louisiana.

Finishing up her opening statement; grilling about to commence. I believe it's 10 minutes per Senator?

So any male Senator who criticizes her is sexist, right?

I hope she can work quickly to set up a system whereby private companies get to involuntarily take tax dollars from local school boards and pay themselves. That's her plan.

Opposed to a system whereby public teacher unions get to take tax dollars from local residents and pay themselves.

My dream school system is the one nevada just recently enacted.

Yeah... Franken asked some discombobulated question about profieciency. DeVoss asked for a clarification and Franken accused her that she did not know the difference between proficincy and growth... WTF!!!!

Haven't been able to watch. Is this where the Dems choose to defend the Alamo? Being that education is the cornerstone of the left's indoctrination and vital to the future of the Democratic Party, do they fight to the last man here?
