Betsy DeVos takes heat from House Democrats over a $5 billion school choice proposal

Washington Democrats took aim at Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' proposed school choice tax credit at a House Education and Labor hearing Wednesday, arguing that it could siphon away funds from public schools.

DeVos said the program, known as Education Freedom Scholarships,"won't take a single dollar from local public schools, school teachers or public school students."But several Democratic members of the committee disputed her claim, arguing that the scholarship program would end up harming public schools. In a testy exchange, Ohio Democratic Rep.

About time somebody addressed the PROBLEMS!

Who gives a shit? No one who matters

This woman has absolutely no right to be secretary of anything, most special secretary of education. She has done nothing but destroy things that have helped public education. Can’t she be impeached?

Ignore the Democrats. They have a problem with everything bc they think billions should be spent on illegals and sex changes.

Please, no more close ups.

Betsy Devos is so AWESOME!!!

Steal money from the Special Olympics to turn it over to parochial schools that teach right wing philosophy. Talk about robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Because Democrats want kids to be stuck at shitty schools?

just another day in tRump world. she baffles me to no end. Runs private school, pushes for private school privileges.

Success is a rare thing which do not occurs ordinarily it is a fight in which you may even require to show dance to steal victory

Probably just another way to get that money cut from public schools. She came up with an idea that she might be able to fool people. I don't trust that bitch to even be in that position. Another of trump's criminals.

In short, according to and Democrats , Black and Brown parents wanting their wonderful babies to “choose” a school that will enhance their education, thus, a better life, make money, have success is something the Left doesn’t want.

For the most part public schools are subpar and private schools are great. Why not give a choice?

Of course they’re heated, Democrats can’t stand any proposal that loosens the federal government’s grip on your lives.

No surprise. Means she must be right!

Democrats hate choice, and prefer to keep the populous dumb.

This ‘woman’ is garbage and if she’s not removed our public education system in this country will suffer for decades to come.

In the future, instead of putting a picture of that awful thing above, could we instead just use a picture of an elephant taking a shit. Same basic thing, just not as painful to look at as she is.

Only the Best People, so where did they get her?

How about we eliminate the Department of Education and allow states to regulate and administer education to their state? I’m for it... what say you Democrats? 🤔

Resign

I actually find her kind of hot.

Sir Davos has a wife haha

She's so...

Democrats hate common sense

Analysis | Betsy DeVos’s claim about public funding for ‘Education Freedom Scholarships’A carefully worded tweet by the education secretary blurs out the government's role in funding scholarships for private or religious schools. They should. Our public schools get way too much money and still fail miserably. If the kid is going to a private school there is no reason the public school should continue to receive funding for that child Look no further than what she did to her state. Horrible result

Uber Aims for Public Valuation of as Much as $100 Billion, Below ExpectationsUber Technologies is aiming for a valuation in its impending initial public offering of as much as $100 billion, below previous expectations, after its competitor Lyft stumbled in its early days of trading as a public company. dumpster fire What do they need the money for? $120 billion was the fake retail price from which the markdown seems cheap. Kind of like how no one ever paid 'regular price' at Sears because the 'sale price' revolved around every other week.
