Jeff Bryant writes that Dems owe nothing to DeVos. They must oppose her. Will there be 3 Republicans who will join them? Probably not.
He notes that Obama and Duncan and King paved the way for DeVos with their love of charters. They brought us half-way to privatization. She will finish what they started.
She is a spoiled billionaire who has never worked a day in her life. She hates public schools. Given her druthers, all our children would be in evangelical Christian schools, at public expense.
She he has spread millions to Republican candidates, including four members of the Senate committee that will review her nil qualifications. If they had any decency, they would recuse themselves. They don’t and they won’t.
If and and when she is confirmed, we will fight her. We will protest, demonstrate and show no deference to this sheltered scion of privilege.

Yep, any crazy person spends millions on something they hate. Makes all the sense in the world.

YEP, too much money which allows for far too much time to interfere in other people’s business by trying to shove one’s own mistaken and false beliefs down those other people’s throats.

We need to let the Dems know that if they choose not to fight her, we will choose to fight them and run true progressives against them. It’s always re-election season in Washington.

Expecting any help from the current iteration of the Democratic Party, is like expecting your gambling addicted brother-in-law to pay for your child’s college tuition. Ain’t gonna happen.

Are there not two Republicans that are moderate and would vote against her? I will start sending emails and making calls if so. Please share.
