Betsy DeVos

I don’t think that’s a safe assumption. Republicans don’t believe in publicly funding much besides “defense” and the wealthy.

and, apparently, witch hunts to find people who conducted witch hunts
 
So DeVos went in front of Congress to defend Trump's stupid, heartless austerity, and he immediately threw her under the bus because he didn't like the PR ramifications. Seems about right.
 
I’m beginning to think Donald doesn’t hire the best people.
 
Remember her brother is Erik Prince of Blackwater. Nice family! Figures both are blooded in Trumpees.

It's a pretty bad combination that really really really bad PR can get him to change course on actions, therefore the MSM just gives him really really really bad PR 24/7, and then really really really bad PR also works to drive him insane.
 
“I am pleased and grateful the president and I see eye-to-eye on this issue, and that he has decided to fund our Special Olympics grant,” DeVos said. “This is funding I have fought for behind-the-scenes over the last several years.”

As to her quote, what a freaking idiot. There is ZERO evidence that larger class sizes are more beneficial. Higher testing children can do okay in them, lower children drown.

Yeah, for lower grades they lowered the class size maximum withiout considering how facilities would be affected.

Yep. That's one reason why so many private schools nearly always advertise and brag about their small class sizes, and lower teacher-to-student ratio. It's one of their advantages over larger public schools with fewer resources. But DeVos seems to have missed the memo on that one, as she has in so many areas of education.
 
Why solve problems when it’s so much easier to simply say you are solving problems?
