John,
Betsy DeVos has been unfit to serve as Secretary of Education since the
day she stepped into office.
Instead of advocating for students, she has sided with wealthy special
interests and friends of the president every step of the way. She has
silenced victims of sexual assault and rolled back essential protections
on college campuses. She has moved to dismantle affirmative action
policies for people of color. She is totally anti-public schools. She
tried to cut funding for Special Olympics. She wanted to use federal funds
to arm teachers.
And most recently, she pulled strings for predatory for-profit colleges --
making it more difficult for students to get compensation from fraudulent
schools just like...you guessed it, Trump University.
Talk about the fox guarding the hen house.

Over 45 million Americans owe more than $1,625,300,000,000 in student
debt. I happen to be one of them. Maybe you are, too. But does DeVos care
about us? Not a chance.
The student debt crisis in this country is robbing an entire generation of
their future. Our current system sets students up to fail by forcing them
to seek higher education if they want a good-paying job and punishing them
with crushing student loans when they do -- making it nearly impossible to
afford housing or groceries or medical bills for years on end.
[ [link removed] ]We need a leader who will fight for students’ rights, but DeVos has
repeatedly proven she’s unfit for office and only cares about her own
self-interests. If you agree, sign our petition now demanding Betsy DeVos
resign.

Thanks for signing.
