Without Congressional authorization, Betsy DeVos has urged states to dispense CARES Act funding based on enrollment, to include private schools, not based on economic need. As usual, she is using her authority to promote privatization of public funds intended for public schools.
The Education Law Center wrote an appeal to Governor Cuomo, urging him to reject the DeVos formula, which will divert money from the poorest children and defy the intent of Congress.

DeVos does not care about poor students and equitable education. She is more interested in moving the maximum amount of money out of public school budgets, even if she perverts the intention of Title 1.

All hail the new gods of technocratic meritocracy!
If you divided that up evenly among the 120 million households in the US, it would be $3600 per household, a not insignificant amount at a time when many millions have lost their jobs.
But you are right. Bezos, his former wife, Zuckerberg, Gates,
Balmer, Bloomberg, Musk, Ellison and the others all deserve it because they are just better than everyone else in every way.
They even undoubtedly smell better.
Elon Musk told his SpaceX employees they are more likely to die in a car crash than from Covid19.
He should have added “especially if the car is a Tesla on autopilot.”
Elon Musk should test his hypothesis in the Elon Musk manner: He should launch himself into deep space in another Tesla strapped to a penile SpaceX rocket to prove once and for all that you are more likely to die following Elon Musk than engaging in any other kind of activity on Earth.
