Defund the left.
They are failing because of leftist policies. They deserve to be trashed.
I’ve had a thought about this. DeVos is iffy on Common Core....in her past, she supported it. Now, she is opposed to Common Core. One can’t help but wonder why the teacher’s unions didn’t go after DeVos on Common Core. One can only conclude that the teacher’s unions are real happy with all of the wasted money and jobs caused by Common Core.
Put education back at the community level. We don’t need a Teacher’s Union. We don’t need a Department of Education. Washington politicians needn’t trouble themselves with this issue. Concerned parents will make sure that children are educated properly right there in the communities where they live.
Not exactly unprecedented. Only two GOP senators voted no and BOTH are heavily funded by the teachers unions - a fact the hateful media refuses to divulge.
Hey, get with the “mainstream”!

Jeb Bush congratulates Betsy DeVos, asks opponents to drop ‘tired arguments’ http://dlvr.it/NK0J78
Re: ‘for profit alternatives’
Do teachers donate their time? Are they not working to make money?
Do they not STrike for more money??
Whistling past the graveyard.
He knows they are done.
Why it should not be possible for public teachers to unionize.
They are only interested in their own selves.
Then they do their best to corrupt the nation’s children for their political ends.
It’s a conflict of interest!
GOOD FUND RAISING MATERIAL FOR THE COMMY TEACHERS UNIONS THOUGH . . . Ever look at any of their literature? Try to find the word “student” anywhere in them. This is a fantastic poke in their GD eyes.
You are right. Now your incompetence and lack of interest in student achievement will be out in the open for all to see.
A long, long time ago the Republican Party was the conservative alternative to the Democrat Party.
“...the same trashing of public schools that the disrupters, the privatizers and the austerity hawks have used for the last two decades.”
Glad to know who the AFT’s enemies are. I self-identify as all three, proudly.
These weenies have been the self appointed martyrs of our society claiming they are the most overworked and underpaid element of society but most nobly, all their sacrifice is for the children. That is bull$#!t in it's purest form.
The NEA and AFT seek two things:
Promoting and keeping their members in all levels of education thereby preserving their monopolistic operation.
Their second objective, sadly, has been the indoctrination of students in a sociological utopian marxist society in lieu of actually teaching real subject matter.
>>This same public—from rural towns to urban centers, from liberals to conservatives—will now serve as a check and balance, and they will be fierce fighters on behalf of children.
That public elected Trump to drain the swamp, including the DoEd and putting kids over teachers’ unions.
Dear Ms. Randi, how about stop complaining and start teaching? You lost and now get to work educating kids instead of indoctrinating them in the leftist crap du jour.
While I have some questions about DeVos, the opposition to her appointment by AFT President Randi Weingarten has certainly elevated my opinion of DeVos’ suitability for the job.
AFT President Randi Weingarten’s motto could easily be “Of, by, and for union card-carrying teachers - children and taxpayers come last”.
Well, well, well. Let's just see about that. Shine the light, Betsy! Is that okay with you, Randi?
