Hello,
Secretary of Education DeVos has pushed for schools to reopen -- despite the pleas of teachers and parents who believe they are being put at risk as COVID cases continue to spike nationwide.
Unfazed by that criticism, DeVos has threatened to pull funding from schools that refuse to open in the fall -- and give it to parents for private school vouchers. Such a move would be a win for wealthy school choice advocates -- and Betsy DeVos is their biggest advocate.
Elizabeth Warren expressed her frustration about DeVos at a recent town hall: “I’ve just had it. We need a secretary of education who’s going to work with teachers and with states and with districts to try to develop reopening plans that actually work and are based in science.”
