President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team announces the choice of Common Core and charter school  supporter Betsy DeVos as U.S. Secretary of Education.

Anti-Common Core grassroots groups of parents and teachers urged Trump to abandon DeVos as his choice, citing her support for the education reform policies of pro-Common Core Jeb Bush and her influence through the Great Lakes Education Project (GLEP) in favor of Common Core.

Karen Braun who writes at Stop Common Core in Michigan noted:

If Bannon can’t stop his own web site from bashing Trump, how is Trump going to stop the MSM from doing it?

Nikki Haley is fine as long as Mittens isn’t the SOS. UN ambassador is a perfect place for an outspoken critic of Trump. Who really cares about the U.N and it will give him some political capital. Also, even close to the election she said she was for Trump (so she’s not a Mittens level of disloyalty. I tend to be ok with people who didn’t support him during the primary). Mittens is the one we need to be worried about

I will be terribly disappointed if he picks romney.

There’s no reason to discuss it because he’s NOT!

The other info you gave makes me feel better. Thanks.

Why would she leave the governorship? Everybody wants to be at the fed level :)

Amen!

And they are terrible for our society.

Those teacher’s unions have a lot of clout. Not only that, it puts the membership in a key position to propagandize parents.

“Apparently we need to add Breitbart to the Fake News list.”

I’m now beginning to believe that Trump is bad for business with some of these so-called conservative sites and bloggers. Now that Trump won they need to invent things to bitch about.

Wait a minute. You were a Trump hated from the get-go, right?

Why should anyone trust your opinion?

It’s not. She was pro CC at one time but changed her position on it.

So what? Trump changed from pro-choice to pro-life. Nobody can change their mind on anything?

Must be nice to never being wrong about anything in your life. Your lucky husband.
