Betsy DeVos says the Department of Education 'should not exist'

[liberal N proud]

WASHINGTON - Betsy DeVos, who served as secretary of education under former President Donald Trump, said over the weekend to a conservative group that the department she led should be abolished.
"I personally think the Department of Education should not exist," she said Saturday during a Moms for Liberty event , in Tampa, Florida, according to Florida Phoenix.
DeVos added that educational decisions must be left up to states and local boards, per the Florida Phoenix.
Moms for Liberty's goal is to "organize, educate and empower parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government," according to its website.
DeVos' comment comes during a time of escalating culture war led by conservatives targeting the teaching of social issues such as race, gender identity, sexual orientation and the desire for more parents to control the school curriculum.

Republicans want little or no education because they ar afraid their grandchildren will learn what they did.

She is utterly devoid of intellect. And empathy for those in need.

5. Actually, it's to privatize education so people like DeVos can make a lot of money.

3. I think the fact is that most parents

don't have a clue about properly educating children. That's why we have schools to send kids to. And to compensate for the teachers and administrators who don't know what the hell they are doing or have motives counter to what is best for the kids we have state and federal regulatory authorities to oversee them.

6. That's right, Betsy, who needs education. Keep these maga voters dumb, stupid....

and gullible so they keep buying right wing, extremist propaganda, voting for trumpers, buying assault weapons, and above all donating to winger coffers.

You of course don't need donations as you're a multi-billionaire safely ensconced in a guarded, gated community and protected from the multiple mass shootings happening every week now.
