| Subject: Excellent: Betsy DeVos will give parents voice and ‘break the teachers union monopoly’ Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:56 pm | |
| U.S. Senate Democrats put on quite a spectacle in attacking and attempting to embarrass Betsy DeVos, President Trump’s nominee to be our next secretary of education, in a confirmation hearing earlier this month.
Reading off the talking points passed along by the bosses of the teachers’ unions, liberal senators like Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) were clearly more interested in scoring cheap points in the national media than having a substantive dialogue on DeVos’s vision for education reform and her qualifications for the job. She showed her mettle in fending off their attacks. After the hearing, she also showed her graciousness, extending a hand of fellowship to Senator Warren, only to be rudely rejected by the junior senator from Massachusetts.
