    Looks like all Dems opposed her, as well as two Republicans. If one more had crossed the line, she would have been gone.

    Nobody did. All 48 Dems voted no.

    Well, that spells the long term demise of the US.

    But formalised child abuse - now that's a line that shouldn't be crossed.

    And don't delude yourself, what this woman intends to do is literally child abuse.

    For those interested - tt falls under the category of "Neglect - Intellectual/Emotional"

    Seriously, first Trump doesn't want foreign brain power (the travel ban, the proposed changes to the H1B), now DeVos? Is he seriously trying to implement an Idiocracy in America?

    Easily the most dangerous appointment. If he makes it 8 years and she stays that is almost a decade of child development that can be screwed up. That isn't like a lot of things where we can just throw money at it later and fix it, banking deregulation etc, this has the greatest long term effect.

    To those claiming you can't choose schools, you can it happens all the time. Secondly, the problem isn't that you can't choose schools it is that our school system was bad enough already, now they are just going to defund it further to help out those already wealthy enough to go to a better school. We needed someone who will make the poor schools better, because the rich ones where already fine, the private ones fine, the religious ones were whatever they are.

    And if you honestly think Poor people are now going to be able to send their kid to whatever school they want, HA. That shit ain't going to happen under her watch, she'd hate to have all that poor blood mix with all her blue blood. Ignorant billionaire dynasty scum.

    I get the part about her being unqualified and at times seemed grossly incompetent during the hearings...but can anyone explain the school choice issue and why so many teachers are against it?

    both sides aren't equal in playing politics chess over doing their job, there is a reason why the national security positions had easy confirmations from the dems

    Y'know, four years ago I would've sworn up and down Idiocracy was hyperbole played for comedy. It wasn't supposed to be prophetic, man, but we're about to have an entire generation grow up under cutthroat conservative "Privatize everything and fuck the poor/middle class" "education."
    Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!

    Ugh. Well I suppose at least we'll all be protected from the grizzly bears now.

    This woman has no right in being the Secretary of Education. I'm appalled at my two senators. Especially Lamar who should know better having been a Secretary of Education. One would hope the things she said in her hearings would have set off some alarms.

    But no...party lines are important I suppose. Every teacher I know is frankly appalled right now.

    She plans on promoting via government funding schools that teach religion to kids, as if it was science. Leaving the future full of a misinformed generation of Americans.

    If you just give millions of dollars to a campaign, you can get any possible position imaginable in an administration, even if you have literally no experience and are a complete fucking retard.
    But but guys, you shouldn't vote for Hillary because she's pay to play!

    The one silver lining we have in all this, is that everything she manages to do to harm our education system can be undone by the next administration.
