Betsy DeVos is hobnobbing with her conservative pals in Ohio today while neglecting to work on any sort of plan to safely re-open schools this fall. I'm not surprised one bit -- this is exactly what happens when your Secretary of Education detests public education.

Ohio Democrats are working around the clock to end the Trump presidency (and send Billionaire Betsy packing) -- but we need your help. Will you chip in $5 right now to turn Ohio blue? [link removed]

Hey team,

Did you hear? Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is participating in a closed-door video chat with the Federalist Society in Ohio today to tout how the Trump administration rolled back guidelines designed to protect victims of sexual assault and harassment on campus.

As she holds her virtual event, she's hiding from public school teachers, students and parents who want to know why the Trump administration is pushing to fully reopen schools -- and threatening to withhold funding from school districts that don't comply.

Yep, you read that correctly.

What Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump don't understand is, of course teachers and students want to return to schools -- but not at the cost of thousands of lives. And now, teachers are stuck between a rock and a hard place as the Trump administration forces them to choose between safety and funding, with absolutely no guidance.

Sherrod Brown always says the Trump White House looks like a retreat for Wall Street executives -- and you can look no further than Billionaire Betsy to see what will go wrong when right-wing ideologues with no experience in public education are put in charge. Trump and his cronies have proven themselves time and again to be the worst people to lead us through this crisis.

I'm ready to put Joe Biden (and Dr. Jill Biden) in the White House -- but recent polls show Biden and Trump virtually tied, and we need all hands on deck. Can you chip in $5 to flip Ohio blue this November and end the attacks on our public schools? [link removed]

Thank you for being a part of this fight,

P.S. -- Never forget when Billionaire Betsy argued that guns in schools would protect children from grizzly bears. Let's get a new secretary of education, y'all -- click here to donate to the campaign to turn Ohio blue. [link removed]
