Betsy DeVos

I would love to know how twisted your mind has to be to arrive at that logic for the existence of HBCU's. "They saw the system wasn't working" ... what in the actual fuck.
 
personally responsible black people bringing about school choice? gallons of jizz from jhmd.
 
That's one way to distort history.

The Civil War was primarily about States' Rights, too.
 
It's like when the Jews saw there were underutilized campgrounds all over the German countryside.
 
It's like when Africans volunteered for unpaid agricultural internships in the South.
 
It's like when a bunch of non-Europeans decided to be bandwagon fans of the blue blood countries.
 
Get a job, you fucking hippie. Teaching is for pussies. Learn how to sell annuities and reverse mortgages to your friends.
 
Some insight on school choice from an old friend of mine, Lynsey Wood Jeffries ('98).

Ten years ago, charter schools were proliferating in Washington without proper accountability. I witnessed questionable charter operators attempting to attract our scholars and families to attend their low-performing schools. These charters were allowed to operate with abysmal test scores and without basic safety in classrooms. More recently with new leadership, the D.C. Public Charter School Board has become a national model. Poor schools are forced to improve or are closed; excellent schools are encouraged to expand.


Washington is often home to congressional public policy experiments, and it has operated a voucher program for several years. I’ve witnessed enterprising, low-income families take full advantage of vouchers. Many parents work multiple jobs and cobble together vouchers, scholarships and tuition payments to cover the costs of independent schools. While vouchers can open doors to strong schools to underserved students in rare instances, this approach also allows public dollars to flow to private schools without full transparency about their results (test scores, graduation rates, college matriculation rates). Certainly, they do not get equal accountability.


School choice is complex. For choice to change the odds for students, it must be paired with accountability and transparency.

NAACP said multiple allegations surfaced that the school was threatening to terminate faculty and withhold student degrees.

“With the recent comments of President Trump suggesting federal funding for HBCU’s is unconstitutional; this validates our view of a horrible decision by the university inviting Secretary DeVos, who still has not pledged to drastically increase funding for all historically black colleges and universities,” Adora Obi Nweze, president of NAACP Florida State Conference and member of the National Board of Directors, said in a statement Monday.

“The university leadership has drastically fumbled and should resign.”

DeVos to revamp Obama sexual assault policy

The Trump administration will revamp the guidance through a rulemaking process that likely will take months, DeVos said during a speech at George Mason University in which she blasted the current guidance as unfair to those accused of sexual assault or harassment. She said the administration will give all sides a chance to offer opinions on how it should move forward, but the decision is expected to be slammed by advocates for victims of sexual assault, Democrats and some state officials.
