She is a snake. If she wanted this why not push for it when she was in charge? This is clear pandering.
Because there’s a time and a place for everything. This is a much easier case to make after the EPA decision; personally I don’t think it should be abolished, that implies it had a right to exist and authority in the first place. Post EPA decision, I think one by one they should prove that all of these 3 letter agencies not only had no right to exist in the first place, but never had authority either, and all of their decisions and regulations are rendered invalid immediately.
I'm personally in the opinion that if she believes in this philosophy, manning the helms of the doe is hypocritical to say the least and simply self serving at the worst. I don't trust hypocrites, or liars. I'm from the tinfoil hat crew from way before q when we didn't trust billionaires.
Well, consider that it's a tactic of war to have an insider at the helm of DOE if you're planning on abolishing it. Makes it much easier to accomplish than if you have someone staunchly defending and protecting it.
This is an interesting theory. Supposedly she has written a “good” book. (I haven’t read it.) I’m all for “The Plan”. Seeing her behavior with endorsements in her own state gives me pause.
The DOE overseas the nuclear power plants and the nuclear arsenal. Let's not be too hasty in dismantling it. It needs to be dismantled delicately and with clear purpose.
Time and Place - First, she was attacked and reviled.
Too many had not seen what has happened to the educational system - it was still too hidden from parents. Just think what would not have been common knowledge - indoctrinating critical race theory being overarching in every subject, common core failure, the abject loss (and purposeful subjugation) of all critical thinking skills. We needed more parents on the Awakened side of the fence for this extremely powerful department to be toppled.
We Are Ready Now!
THIS! 👆
My wife has been an RN for 20 years. She was hired into the local school system (with union representation) a few years ago and our eyes have been opened very wide. 👀
Here in New England, we have come to the conclusion that the superintendents are the local "Mob Boss" and that there are several "Made Guys" that can hire whomever they want no matter their work history or qualifications. Family members are preferred since they are less likely to step out of line and risk their VERY generous benefits package (95% coverage Healthcare, Pension, 11 paid vacation days, summers and extra weeks off during the regular school year).
Anytime my wife speaks up about how her students need better care or a kid needs special services, her coworkers and fellow union members get uncomfortable and separate themselves. The dumbest "soldiers" are pushed into positions where they are encouraged to keep paperwork to a minimum and not share things via email. Sadly the parents are the last to find out when there is a problem BY DESIGN!
Still needs to shut it down
The uprising against her was massive and instant. As soon as she was named.
It was brutal & disgusting. There was little she could do, with violent brainless mobs that work in that organization, much like the troubles Trump endured.
I hope and believe she's has always been working towards the goal of abolishing the cult of our education system, with the authority she had and to move forward with whatever she could do.
She introduced a problem into the public ether that too many were unaware of......or at the very least supremely unaware of the depth.
I am a newly retired Teacherfag (leftover Voat), perhaps TeacherAnon here.
I fought against an absolute Wall while working. Tried my best each year with the students I had to let them THINK, learn, and know that much of what they would hear in their classes was someone's Opinion.
I know the Union power DeVos faced, let alone the court of unenlightened public opinion. The time was not right. Now, it is!
You are correct u/polish_snausage! DOE needs to be abolished!!
Betsy and her brother, Erik Prince are PATRIOTS!
DOE.......Department of......E----y?
Sorry...meant Dept of Education 😸
You say this. In Michigan the Devos run the RINO machinery that is trying to get rid of any election fraud candidates. Why is this so?
Wasn't away of that!
Betsy has said plenty of anti-Trump stuff, but her family in Michigan is trying to control the entire Republican Party there and teaming up with Gretchen to get rid of Vote fraud candidates. So, you tell me, where does Betsy stand?
Thanks for the info!
Rote learning needs to be abolished, teach kids how to think properly and figure out stuff for themselves, not just recall the approved answers.
Do not trust her....
I don't trust anyone, but I listen to what they say, and wait to see if they follow through...
I don't think we have the luxury of time tho, so the waiting to see if it's another lie or scam is brutal.
I do hope the education system is rebuilt tho. People need choices.
Wouldn’t this have been a stronger point to make when she was actually the one in charge of DOE? Seems like pandering.
She was among the first to jump ship after the 2020 election. Couldn't let herself be associated with the administration during the attempted purge of all things Trump.
No, the secretary cannot shut down their agency without direction from congress.
Golf clap, why didn’t she when she was heading it?
I had such high hopes from her when Trump named her. I know her husband, I was only introduced to her. But, to know where both their heads are at and what didn't happen is maddening.
Watch the dominoes fall.
That epa ruling was just the first.
