NEIFPE member Kathy Candioto sent this letter to the editor about Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.DeVos failing public schools
Published: January 12, 2020
I challenge anyone to name something positive that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has done for public education.
A longtime Republican donor from Michigan (whose family's worth is $5.4 billion), Devos got off to a rough start when her 2017 Senate confirmation hinged on a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence. The hearings revealed her amazing lack of knowledge on education law and policy.
DeVos attended private schools, as did her children. Caring little about public schools, she is strong advocate for vouchers and charters. It is shameful that Cabinet member DeVos should be held in contempt of court and her department fined $100,000. (October, 2019).
Public school supporters look forward to the end of DeVos' tenure in 2020. DeVos has been a complete failure to our public school teachers and students.
