Well…as you know, repubs will say or do anything to push their agendas and Betsy DeVos laid down a whopper yesterday in a press release that sounds like a 7th grader wrote it, in trying to justify the privatization of public schools and school choice that has been her calling card here in Michigan and that has destroyed our schools here. What this idiot did yesterday was jaw dropping in its ignorance and stupidity…praising the necessity of historically black colleges and universities as on the vanguard of “school choice” that gave blacks “options” that legal segregation and Jim Crow laws created…now, how many ways is this twisted, convoluted justification of school choice just plain wrong? First, there is no “school choice” in play here…minorities ONLY option in this segregated country at the time was to go to a HBCU school…any minority that tried to enroll in any “white” college or university was met with lynch mobs and gunfire as was James Meredith when he tried to enroll in the University of Mississippi in 1962 and 20,000 soldiers of the National Guard had to be called out to protect him and put down the riots by whites who would have killed him if they could….some choice, huh? All of this is just a new piece of evidence of the ignorance of history of ole Betsy and that she will use any lie to push her for profit school schemes that will reward her rich buddies and hurt every child here in the US…after all, she has lived in her rich girl bubble her entire life and has no idea what normal people have to do to get by….and she sure doesn’t give a damn about anyone but her rich, white cronies…and that press release shows it…
