I like her best.

This Special Olympics thing is overblown and she is right. It could have easily been replaced with private donations.

In my opinion, she is beyond lousy but I have had a matter before her Department for 36 months, now.

Isn’t she the one linked to Amway? Lol

It’s kinda ironic that she’s part of Trump’s cabinet when she made her fortunes scamming lower middle class Americans. Of course trump knows a thing or two about that with trump university

This is the part where Trumpkins downvote me for pointing out that amway and trump university are huge scams

Oddly enough amway only continues to exist through enormous political power. Can’t get any more “establishment” than that

I haven’t read a lot on it. Wasn’t it a real estate program? It wasn’t offering bachelor degrees was it?

Yeah they didn’t confer degrees or anything. It was just called a “university.” Basically your standard high pressure sales tactic scam. Kinda like when you buy a used car and they won’t let you leave the office.

I mean, obviously, they were telling you the secrets to getting rich like trump. Lots of successful grads lol

Will a single poster plainly state something she’s done as Sec of DOE to classify her as “worst”?

Is it just her qualifications that make people rank her so low?

I’ll say that reversing the “Dear Collegue” Title IX expansion was awesome. More of that please, Ms Devos?

There is no such thing as a bad cabinet member in MAGA’s administration! They are all super duper stupendous and unbelievably well-endowed!

Yes. The answer is YES

I’m sorry, I thought her job is to ensure that students of US public schools get the best education possible? Not to fund something like the Special Olympics which gets hundreds of millions dollars a year in private donations.

The budget cut everything that the DOE spends money on...

Everything but charters.

Cronyism sucks. The executive branch shouldn't pick winners and losers in business. That should be criminal.

In business, you say? Are they showing favoritism between different charters?

I didn’t know that public schools are businesses.

So, in your opinion, the President can’t make a policy change to reduce federal spending of some programs, and enhance spending of other programs?

You think it’s illegal for the administration to support freedom of choice for public school children (often poor districts) by enhancing funding to charter schools in those districts, while at the same time reducing federal spending on transitional schools, often for programs with little demonstrable positive results?

Why don’t you just say that you don’t like the idea of charter schools? No need to be accusing people of committing crimes.

First off... why should charters be increased when everything else is cut? Explain your position.

Welcome to 2019. You can personally start your own charter school. And as principal/president of the school, you can pay yourself a handsome profit/salary.

The department of education is profiting certain businesses over others. That is the definition of choosing winners and losers. And that is not the purpose of the federal government.

I live in a charter county (the entire county falls under this chatter ordinance). I have 4 kids in the school system. I am on 4 separate school governance councils. I'm very familiar with all things charter.
Why should a charter get preference over non-charter?

And school vouchers isn't the law of the land. Wtf are you talking about?
