Not sure what your point is. She clearly proved multiple times that she is incompetent.


My point is clear. There is NO SUCH THING as qualifications to be sect of educ. A well trained Chimpanzee can do it. They have no power. They don't give speeches. It's like the Surgeon General. It should not exist. The Surgeon General did indeed give a speech 30 years ago. He said "Don't smoke." That's it.

Education is the function of states.

Zach, i understand what you are saying, but it's not a good thing to claim ignorance at previous DOE leaders. Now we care, and that's a good thing


No. Caring about the DOE is a very bad thing. It should be abolished. Now, if Trump wants to appoint someone to take it out, that's fine with me.

She didn't donate to his campaign. You need to stop relying on fake news.

I'm not sure she could score above a 19 on the ACT


I wonder what the average ACT scores of teachers over time is.

Not my point. Im saying that if you didnt know who the past leaders were then you've done your however small part in letting it fail. We all need to pay more attention

I want to let it fail. What do you not understand? I want the DOE to cease to exist. It serves no function.

Yes it does. It's fair to think the function it serves should be stopped, or that it should be shifted to another department or to the states, but it's ignorant to say it serves no function.

Its pretty much an embarrassment at this point.




It's only an embarrassment if any republican is voting against her.

Has any republican come out against her yet?

She's a lock for confirmation.

Yeah. She's an absolute disaster of an appointee for any cabinet post. Trump should withdraw her so he can then say how responsive he is as he rams the others through. Kill the weakest member of the herd.
