Heavens to Betsy, there should be no surprise about DeVos’s confirmation.
Donald Trump did say: “I Love the poorly educated.”
Trump won bigly with the uneducated voters so perhaps this is just part of the Republican’s larger plan to simply create more of them by electing supremely unqualified Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education.

If the seed of the American Dream was planted during the dark days of the Depression, germinated at the New York Worlds Fair of 1939, it was nurtured and cultivated during the sacrifices and deprivations of WWII. By wars end

For over half a century, Americans soaring confidence had always promised a sugar-frosted future filled with frost free fun and abundance and economic prosperity. But that Buoyant bubble of optimism has since gone bust. Along with our jobs, retirement funds

Envisioning The American Dream 
Quote: “How long before Alternative Facts are added to the required school curriculum?” Hahahahaha! Too funny, but when one thinks about it, “fuddlementalist” right-winged Christians who basically co-opted the GOP (God’s Own Party) have been teaching alternative facts in schools all over for hundreds of years. Should we be surprised they want to go back and “Make America Great Again” (or is that “Grate Again”) by going back to teaching creationism and such enlightened views? Or as was bandied under the introductory years of trickle down economics of Reagan the Clown, teaching the basic 3 “R’s” of “Reading, Riting, Ritmetic”? Oh yeah, maybe some shop and typing but no more confusing kids’ minds with godless art, history, philosophy, science.

To doublesspeak: I’m keenly interested in that. Do you have examples, or could you write an article on that subject as it is now presented in schools?

Here is a quote from Brown v. Board of Education: “The “separate but equal” doctrine adopted in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, has no place in the field of public education.” It says that there cannot be segregation in public schools. But it doesn’t mention anything about private schools. Maybe that is the reason so many want to dump public education in this country. If we privatize our education system, lo and behold segregation is constitutional.

To Don R – I guess that would be because private ed is just business?
