Is @BetsyDevos qualified to be US Secretary of Education?
I have collected a variety of media sources covering the hearing of Betsy DeVos for US Secretary of Education. Is she qualified? I’ll begin with source material from the hearing. Then, I will include some of the critiques of her answers— including my conversation on yesterday’s Jeff Santos Show.
First, Kaine v. DeVos
Betsy DeVos and Tim Kaine spar on school accountability, 1/171/17 fb.me/19ogPXDs2
Translation: Charters and private schools can have less accountability than public schools?
Franken v. DeVos
Betsy DeVos proficiency vs growth fb.me/7uD848z7t
Translation: This is a distinction that Betsy should be well aware of… but isn’t.
Murphy v. DeVos
Betsy DeVos wants to allow guns in schools because there might be bears #DumpDeVos
Translation: Grizzlies!?
Warren v. DeVos
Betsy DeVos won't stop places like Trump University from ripping off its students #DumpDeVos #DeVosHearing
Translation: For-profit universities like the Corinthians colleges and Trump University have been highly problematic for taxpayers and those who “chose” them.
Bernie v. DeVos
Shorter DeVos: Hundreds of millions in donations to the GOP didn't get me here, it was my efforts to privatize public schools #DumpDeVos
Translation: Yes, the millions got you here.
Now for some of the critiques.
Looking forward to talking about yesterday's @BetsyDeVos Senate hearing today on @JeffSantosShow today at 130PST. Join us!
