That’s state level funding advocacy. You need to study the details why she was doing that. It was a ploy by leftists to grab state funds for another purpose and to attack the curriculum development of Charter Schools. School Choice was caught in the crosshairs.

She was for School Choice and vouchers. She was aiming for Common Core funds to be directed to those ends.

It’s about the money! It’s not about the indoctrination.

Common Core is NO LONGER a federally funded program.

So what’s her involvement in Michigan got to do with a federal post? She won’t have any funds for Common Core.

Are you saying Trump is going to call for renewing the funding of Common Core?

Is that what you’re saying?

Because if you’re not saying that, then you’re carrying the water for the left to divide and turn conservatives against Trump.

The only leg you got to stand on is if Trump will fund Common Core.

And he’s not bringing her in to do any Common Core crap. She’s all about School Choice which if you knew anything about inner city edication politics, is poison to the left and its teacher unions.

She fought FOR common core, with a lot of her own money, while in Michigan.

Do you think she’s going to be reprogrammed in the plane somewhere over the Appalachian mountains on her way to DC?

If Trump really meant what he said about common core, WHY would he appoint someone who was a HUGE supporter of common core?

Looks like payola since she helped him carry Michigan.

She’s on the board of Jebbie’s common core ‘effort’. Do you think he would have picked someone who did NOT believe wholeheartedly in common core and fedgov setting standards?

“...But some of her ties would suggest that she supports the effort to raise and standardize expectations of what students should learn in each grade. She’s on the board of Foundation for Excellence in Education, the group that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush founded to promote school choice and the Common Core.”

“... But his transition team said the meeting with DeVos “focused on the Common Core mission, and setting higher national standards and promoting the growth of school choice across the nation.” “
