hi

Catholic gay. I can't see my mother, father, aunt, cousins, etc., because you are promoting homosexuality with sucking and fucking. You are having fun and I am waiting for contributions to ZUS and US

No added value DeVoss

Education is going to be the most important factor in getting us out of this bizarre twilight zone. Higher education needs to be more accessible

Thank God! A secretary of education that actually cares about and will work for kids. Thank you!

Good luck & Godspeed.🙏🏼

He should be canceling standardized testing.

Maybe check with the schools that have been open all year with great planning. Thankfully mine is one of them.

Keep the schools closed! We can’t have kids running around spreading the virus while seniors still can’t get vaccines. Opening the schools will be a public health disaster. Kids can learn on Zoom!

What an intriguing idea. Putting someone who has actually been in the classroom in charge? Is he qualified? Does he even own a yacht? Does he passionately hate public schools? Weird.

And hopefully proper funding!

That and the other monumental task of repairing the damage done by Betsy DeVos!

His task was made twice as hard because of complete incompetence of the previous secretary of education

3 more months + till summer break. Just wait, once vaccines are available to everyone, hope within the next few months they can start preparing for the fall. Why spend all these resources now to try to open schools safely in the next months so all kids can have a week of class

But first removing the foul stench of ignorance propagated by DeVos.
