A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************

PFAW Member,

Betsy DeVos has proven time and time again that she is too unqualified to
serve as Secretary of Education.

Most recently, DeVos has been leading Trump’s charge to reopen all schools
this fall, without adequate safeguards in the face of surging coronavirus
infections throughout the country contributing to new nationwide daily
infection records. Her plan? Cram kids into classrooms in the middle of a
pandemic without a plan and hope educators go along with it.

When pressed on basic questions about students, teachers, and parents’
safety from the virus and whether schools should closely follow the CDC’s
guidelines, DeVos explained the guidelines were “meant to be flexible” and
“merely guidance”. She provided no answers for how schools might deal with
a possible outbreak and placed that responsibility on the institutions
themselves.

DeVos is leading our children into harm's way for the sake of boosting
Trump’s reelection campaign, and it is truly disgusting. She must resign.

In a recent poll, a majority of voters opposed Trump and Secretary DeVos’s
plans to reopen K12 schools and universities this fall, citing the ongoing
public health crisis.^1 We must continue pressuring the administration
into backing down from their proposal and demanding that Secretary DeVos
finally remove herself by resigning!

This also wouldn’t be the first egregious action Secretary DeVos has taken
since taking on the role.

DeVos has also cut funding for childhood literacy programs, rolled back
protections for children of color and LGBTQ students, proposed cutting
funding for the Special Olympics, allowed schools to use federal money to
buy guns, and gutted Title IX protections for student survivors of assault
and harassment.

Betsy DeVos has shown time and time again that her loyalty is to partisan
politics, special interest groups, and hate -- NOT students. And now, she
plans to put all of our children in the center of the coronavirus
pandemic. She must resign as Education Secretary immediately.

resign >>

Thanks for all you do,

- Zach, PFAW
