An education secretary who hates public education…

Well…living here in Michigan, we’ve all gotten to know trump’s pick for education secretary, Betsy DeVos, as opposed to anything that has to do with public education, and her family bankrolling the effort to expand and deregulate the charter schools here. So, of course she’s the perfect person to run the education department in repubs eyes since they just hate teachers, teachers unions, and public education in general since you can’t make a profit for their oligarch buddies from it….never mind that she has no education or experience with the issues that the ed sec has to deal with…she does have that large checkbook that now seems to be the only qualification for anything for the repubs…after all, they elected the ignoramus in chief…the most ignorant person ever elected to any office in the US ever….geez….

Ben Carson…wow…that’s all I have to say…

Well…if you have been paying any attention to the crazy-assed stuff that ole Ben has been spouting, this may not be a surprise to you…but it was to me and I am shaking my head about the stupidity of this guy…in the past few days, one of the things that old Ben has spewed out of his fever brain is, that if he is elected, he would change the purpose of the Department of Education to be the thought police and to withhold federal funds to any university that espoused teaching ideas that are outside the mainstream…and that mainstream is whatever ole Ben thinks it is…and, all you have to do is look at what this idiot believes to see what a nightmare world he lives in where evolution is the “work of the devil” and any progressive thought needs to be punished. Now, do you see what this looks like? Kinda like China under Mao or Germany under Hitler where people would be punished for thought…never mind that the first amendment protects thought and speech here in the US…but we all know that any repub loves the constitution until people they hate get rights from it….this guy is just batshit crazy and should never be anywhere near any government function other than receiving mental health care….geez…
