According to Bloomberg, one state lawmaker called her a “raghead”, and “campaign fliers compared a “white male/Christian/business owner” to an ‘Indian female/Buddhist/housekeeper'”. “She has consistently pushed a corporate agenda to privatize, de-professionalize and impose cookie-cutter solutions to public education”, said NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia.
