DeVos
Seen Through White House Window
(Behind bars would be a better Fit)
Her latest
lousy policy stunt reported on here from
the Daily Beast and NY Times:
When
Congress set aside $30 billion for education institutions facing ruin because
of the coronavirus pandemic shutdowns, it’s pretty clear this is not what they
had in mind.
DeVos is
reportedly throwing millions of federal dollars that were intended mainly for
public schools and colleges at private and religious schools (also according to The New York Times linked below).
About $350
million of funding has reportedly been allocated to small colleges, many of
which are private or religious, regardless of need. For example,
the Wright Graduate University for the Realization of Human Potential in
Wisconsin, which has a completely
normal website that denies claims it’s a cult, has reportedly
received about $495,000. The source for their report is here.
DeVos has
reportedly also used $180 million of the relief to encourage states to create
“micro-grants” that parents can use to pay for educational services, including
private-school tuition.

My 2 cents: When DeVos had her senate
confirmation hearings, VP Pence had to cast the tie breaking vote (51-50) for
her to win. That was the first and only time in American history that a VP had
to vote that way for a nominee.
That shows her lack of confidence from many Senators
and boy has it gotten worse since she actually took office. She should resign now,
or somehow be removed from office. She is a total disaster and she has an awful
record to prove, too.
Thanks for stopping by.
