We cannot retreat in despair. DeVos as Secretary of Education is NOT good news for public education but we must show the children and their families that we will fight for them. In the weeks to come the BATs Board of Directors will be in discussions about how we continue and amp up our fight to save public education and to create strong sustainable public schools for all children. We cannot fight without your support. So, please consider donating to BATs at our website http://www.badassteacher.org/ – you can give a one-time donation or become a $10 a month subscriber. We need YOU to help US fight for public education.
In Solidarity,
The BATs Board of Directors

I’m in Texas and I want to become more involved and more vocal about these issues! Thank you for keeping us up to date.
This is a quote from Betsy DeVos found in the book Dark Money by journalist Jane Mayer.
An honest government throws the DeVoses in prison for fraud.
LOL! “hard-earned!?!?!?” At least the billionaire heiress has a sense of humor, however unintentional it may be.
She and her husband—the blood heir to this ill-gotten pyramid scheme fortune—never “earned” a dollar in their lazy, unproductive lives.
What a disgrace that this person is now the federal education secretary; BUT it WILL galvanize the opposition AND lay waste to the increasingly shopworn and specious claim that so-called “Ed Reform” and charter support is somehow a “bipartisan issue” that “will help poor children and families of color.”
Practicing my analogies for the standardized American citizenship test we will all surely be required to take soon. Don’t think I’ll pass.
Naming Betsy DeVos as Sec. of Education is like putting…
…an arsonist in charge of the fire department.
…an embezzler in charge of a bank.
…a convicted mass murderer in charge of the homicide division.
…a tobacco CEO in charge of a cancer center.
…a kid with a drone in the captain’s chair of an airliner.
…David Barton in charge of selecting textbooks.
…Putin in charge of NATO.
…Lynne Cheney in charge of the National Endowment for the Humanities (oh wait, that happened already).
…Rudy Giuliani in charge of anything.
…a fascist at the right hand of the president.
…a retired neurosurgeon in charge of HUD.
