Devos Confirmed

[Belize]

Yeah, voucher programs to religious schools... are not going to prepare people well for STEM jobs which are the future. I hope the democrats become a bulwark against the stupid coming out from this administration. Otherwise we have Idiocracy in the making. With more electrolytes and guns for bears.

Have you ever seen plants grow out of a toilet?

Exactly.

[Aggrophobic]

Good luck US children. You're going to need it.

[Kujako]

Have you ever seen plants grow out of a toilet?

Yes?

[I Push Buttons]

At least a couple of Republican Senators were willing to break rank on this vote. Might put them in the shithouse and make them and others break rank in the future.

Teachers unions hate her, I'm glad to see that she'll get a chance at the job.

Just curious, if you needed life saving heart surgery, would you want a supermarket cashier to do it?

Wait you want to drink water?!? Like the stuff in the toilet?

DeVos is a terrible mistake, but not a surprising one.

Instead of focusing on Trump's temporary ban on immigration, this was the real issue that should've been tackled.

[Azadina]

Yeah, but she gave millions to Trump's campaign, so I'm sure she's totally qualified

Oh, the campaign he was going to pay for himself? That one?

[Endus]

Also, I really hope those people looking for more religious schools realize what that means, since the government can't discriminate based on faith.

More schools based on Islamic teachings, or funded and run by the Church of Satan. Or Scientologists.

Edit: Before anyone says anything, I'm okay with religious schools of any stripe, as long as they're teaching to the same curriculum as secular schools.

Another person in charge that has nothing valuable to offer for the position except a full wallet. Like their boss. poor America, will be ruled by incompetent at best idiots who can cause some real damage.

They were gifts! So he paid it hiself (with the gifts).

It's like when someone gives you a gift card for your birthday, and you take them out to eat to that restaurant and say you'll pay for it. Using the gift card.

McCain talks a lot about bipartisanship, doing the right thing, but when it comes to votes he always toes the company line. He's a case of action speaks far louder than his words. And his vote for Devos is a good example.

The wealthy will be fine in expensive quality private schools, and partially being paid for by taxpayer vouchers is a bonus. The poor who will have even more money pulled from their public schools and who can't afford charter schools even with vouchers, will suffer and this will serve to "keep them in their place" as Trump likes to say.

[Underverse]

It's going to suck to be poor in America, even more than it already does.

[dd614]

I'm glad I don't have any kids

You'd actually be able to choose their schools. Practically Nazi Germany, right?

It's great being poor now. You get to send your kids to crappy schools with violence and horrible teachers with no say at all.

Liberals: You can abort your child on demand, but you can't choose what school they go to.

[dextersmith]

Having a relative who immigrated to Canada, I can say that they do not. It's very hard to get in. You have to have a skill set that they feel they need.

Tell them the US will become war torn and your American $$$$$ needs refugee status.

[Risale]

Gonna start a GoFundMe so I can get appointed to an office I'm wildly unqualified for too!

Thinking Secretary of Defense.

Doesn't he have somebody for that spot that actually is good.

Do you honestly believe they have any intention to fund non Christian schools? Or won't find some way to not fund the rest.

D: How silly of me, of course! Now it all makes sense!

Like the choice between a turd sandwich and a giant douche?

[Wells]

If you're in a position where you can practically move your child to a different school district odds are you're well off enough for it not to be a decision you have to make.

[Independent voter]

Supporting someone based entirely on who dislikes them is reactionary dumbshittery.

Judge a woman by her enemies I always say.
