Hillary Clinton on Tuesday eviscerated Donald Trump’s commitment to education, warning that he would gut education and poses as a dangerous example for America’s youth.
She criticized Trump’s call to eliminate most of the Department of Education by accusing him of trying to “leave out our most vulnerable students and let them fend for themselves” by eliminating agency programs like Pell Grants and access to Pre-K, and lowering taxes for the wealthy instead of investing in education.
“The bottom line is—just like Trump should not have his finger on the button or his hands on our economy, he should not have anything to do with our children’s education and our public schools,” Clinton said to raucous applause Tuesday at the National Education Association’s Representative Assembly in Washington. Clinton took the stage just as FBI Director James Comey laid out his department’s investigation into her use of a private email server while at the State Department. Comey criticized Clinton’s team for “extreme carelessness” in handling her emails but said his agency was not recommending any charges against her.
There was no visible indication from her during the speech that she was aware of Comey's comments.
She told the educators that parents and educators are writing her to warn about the “Trump effect,’ which she referred to as the rise of bullying and harassment in schools.
“I wish more people thought about how Donald Trump’s rants are being heard by America’s children. What will they think when he calls women pigs… or talks about banning 1 million Muslims. What do our kids take away from his racist attacks from a federal judge, or when he encourages his supporters to punch protestors,” she said.
“You would not tolerate that kind of behavior in your classrooms, lets not tolerate if from someone trying to become president of the United States.”
Clinton spoke to the gathering of 7,900 NEA delegates at the Washington, D.C., convention center, about a mile from the Capitol Building. The NEA, the largest labor union in America, endorsed Clinton last October, well before the first round of primary votes were cast.
She regularly touts her commitment to debt-free public higher education, but while she hasn’t outlined a comprehensive plan for K-12 education, she regularly touts the need to “make high-quality education available to every child, in every zip code, in America.”
This woman has no moral authority to criticize anyone on anything.
Yes to all of those but you forgot “traitor”.
Ben is joking right? She knew before she consented to the FBI interview that took place only as a ruse of resembling an honest investigation.
Maybe this bumper sticker has a point.
This HAS to backfire for hillary. It’s beyond obvious that Trump provided for and holds high expectations for his children’s educations.
hoo ah
and keep her husband away from those school girls
How many kids in the 90’s learned about a new meaning for a “Lewinski”
Hillary the Great cannot wait to be President. Then she can employ her army of drones to burn more school children alive with hellfire missiles.
This coming from woman who tried to paint a 12 year old rape victim as a stalker....
Why? Because Hillary wants to send your children to a village.... Probably one in Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam.
Well, we certainly don’t need a syllabus of Theory and Practice of Effective Prevarication. Though H->! is an acknowledged master.
Make American College Great Again!
forty years ago when finally I realized that I was a conservative, I remember making a note: Whenever politicians say they are “doing it for the children”, vote for their opponent!
Sounds like a Health Care Issue...........
As a young’in, my voting strategery was to always vote against the incumbent.
Apparently they was a sudden push to wrap this up instead of working to delay as long as possible. Make Comey personally liable for all of the wasted resources of the 100s of Very Special Agents who couldn’t find their own butt looking in all the wrong places for evidence of H->! treachery.
She’s right. It will diminish the power the Dems have to brainwash our little ones right out of the gate......political correctness, sensitivity training, low morals, etc. and keep the dumbing down if full force...
Clinton’should not have anything to do with our children’
These democrat politicians create hell hole schools in the cities from which black children cannot escape. When they come to live in these cities, they send their children to the best private schools.
Well yeah, only 20 days before the Democrat Convention.
I agree, no federal politician/bureaucrat should have anything to do with our children’s education. Leave a child’s education in the hands of someone who actually cares about them (the parents) and in institutions which actually have incentive to teach children well (private, non-subsidized industry).
