Rich white privilege, verse one

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, bought and paid for
The woman who bought her Cabinet position by making donations to Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, earlier this week said that she is rejecting school reopening plans which do not send our children back to school full-time in the classroom.  This is somewhat rich, because DeVos has absolutely zero power to do this--as we are not one of those smart countries which has a national education program and instead leaves everything to local officials, each and every school district can tell DeVos to blow it our her ass.

Unfortunately, what DeVos can do is control the funding, and she is threatening to withhold money from schools which don't bend to her wants.  While most folks agree that it is in our children's best interests to get them back to school, I think it's important to note that most of us think this should be done safely with plans in place for the coronavirus, but DeVos wants this done simply because her boss, Putin puppet Donald Trump, thinks it will help the economy and therefore his chances for re-election.

Understand that Betsy DeVos doesn't give a good goddamn about education or people's children unless they are rich or religious, and that your child's long term health or even death is a small price for her to pay as long as she and her family can keep getting richer and can keep shoving her religious beliefs down your throat.

Fuck Donald Trump,
