Three of the groups challenging the reform agenda of President-elect Donald Trump and his education secretary nominee Betsy DeVos received more than $2.6 million from teachers unions and their allies, according to federal labor filings.
DeVos, a pioneer in the school choice and charter school movements over the last two decades, has received vocal opposition from Democrats and some of the country’s most powerful unions. The National Education Association, American Federation of Teachers, and AFL-CIO, which serves as an umbrella group for dozens of unions including the AFT, have all called on the Senate to reject the nomination.

Teachers, this is what your unions are using your money and your names for. You should be incensed and ashamed.
I bet they are. Betsy has been against the stranglehold the Unions have had on Education for far too long. There is NO reason the dramatic changes can't be made to our, currently failing, system. So sad to have watched the past generations of students warehoused and watched over by babysitters while indoctrinating these students. NO education for many years. Look around you; what do YOU see? Scary isn't it, and to think they will multiply.
