I was invited to appear on Chris Hayes’ “All In” last night. Here is the link. It starts with Senator Sanders asking Betsy DeVos how much money she gave to Republicans.

I saw you on the show, and you were great, as always. I wish they would call you to testify at DeVos’ hearing.
Well done Diane. I thought the most poignant part of Bernie’s questioning was when he said, and I’m paraphrasing: if you didn’t contribute millions, you wouldn’t be sitting here, would you? Some times, less is more from politicians.
Well done both here and earlier on NPR. Continue to champion public education. I taught future and inservice teachers in Michigan. Those in charters worked very hard under trying conditions with little support. Schools are complex institutions. Good educational systems cannot be built over night as charter operators and Betsy DeVos suggest.
Wonderful presentation. Could you give a link for your reference to 10 top performing countries, none of which have charters or vouchers?
Well done. Got all the good stuff out. Hopefully she has hung herself through her own astonishing igmkrancw and ineptitiude.
DeVos acts as if the education money is HERS. It is NOT HER money. She’s nuts and dangerous.
Well done .
Excellent, Diane–and thank you.
Good work!!! http://wsautter.com/
GREAT!! You make us proud!
Very well said, Diane. You were able to make important points, and get in her comments about religious schools (“advancing God’s Kingdom”), as well as the simple and scary truth that she is dedicated to the eradication of public education- I think you said a “dedicated enemy” which sounds hyperbolic but is not. Bravo! I’m glad you were able to point out that countries with high performing schools don’t have a free market- no charters and no vouchers. Kids in those countries go to public schools.
Clarity. Talking points are well-honed for the constraints of the media and urgency of this moment.
On the 19th, Facebook and twitter will carry a talking point for ditto heads of the religious right. “It’s time for unity…If you hate Trump more than you love America, you never loved America.” “The message has been tested and positively received by Americans across the political spectrum.”
Thank God, there are true Americans like Diane Ravitch, who understand and speak to the honorable principles that led our nation, prior to its takeover by self-serving billionaires.
Bien dicho y hecho.
Thank you.
Thank you Diane. Your interview with Chris Hayes was excellent; so much factual information in such a short amount of time. (Nothing fake!) Hope you will agree to be my guest on SCHOOL TALK. It’s been on RI PBS (WSBE and WSBEL for 30 yrs.,on http://www.onworldwide.com and available via Google (tvsbsc). Produced at Bridgewater State U. and myself (retired teacher). Will send an invite – so long overdue.
(Barbara Madeloni helped us receive funding from MTA last year.)
Many thanks for your long-time dedication and for sharing your amazing intellect.
Your continued fight to keep FACTS in front of the nation are always much appreciated.
we need to spread this link to teachers, to their unions and to schools since I find in my state that they don’t do diddly squat…..
You did great, Diane!
Hopefully the truth will spread.
You did an outstanding job. Much better than others. I hope you are able to,speak out on TV much more often.
Fantastic interview. Thank you

Good job! You have so many facts for people to hear and digest. I wish you could get coverage in every newspaper. I am concerned about DeVos getting the nomination. All the Repubs were singing her praises and handing her bouquets. These are the people who are going to vote her in!
Seem to be having a problem. I’m only linking to Maggie Hassan. I tried both links. Are they supposed to still be linking to your interview? I’d like to hear it. Thanks.
I will fix it
