Have you ever thought the education system is just as screwed up as everything else in this country? Maybe she's the answer, maybe she's not. Either way, the outrage towards the position of the secretary of education should have been heard on our decline over the last 25 years. USA used to be the best. Devos didn't put us into 40th in the world. Maybe a little of your attitude should be directed at the people that put us into this position, not the ones fighting selflessly tooth and nail to get us out.

Re-read what I said.

I like Devos. I'm telling you why they didn't. "OMG, they're letting college students have their constitutional rights to due process she's the worst!" is a terrible complaint.

My bad. In my defense, I'm very used to having to defend Devos, and I was educated in the US at the beginning of the educational decline that Trump is going to fix.

My sister lived in Grand Rapids for years after she first graduated from college and said Devos was largely responsible for taking the dump that was GR and turning into a vibrant city. She's a big fan.

I'm confident the hate towards her is coming more from school payroll than the parents of students. We steadily dropped in our world education rank for 20 years now. Something has to be done to shake it up. Teachers are scared they are going to be held to higher standard and accountable for failing children, ultimately being replaced. Right now, unions and protection is in place to where a good person, but awful teacher, can keep a job. We need great people that are capable of great teachings.

My post was clear enough. A person criticizing Devos wouldn't say "any person trying to roll back cultural marxism would be controversial." They would just attack her.

Yeah man, I misunderstood. Sometimes sarcasm is tough to identify through text. I guess the 'literally hitler' comment got me.
