65 million students

I believe public education should give every single one of those students a shot at a successful future. But Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, someone who has never worked in a school, is doing her best to turn back the clock in every way imaginable.   Friend, Forty years ago today, …

The Constitution requires this of Congress
