Obnoxious Mob Blocks Ed Sec. from Entering DC School
The event was closed to the media. That she now oversees our national public school system is sick and paradoxical, so much so that her nomination was contested more fervently than the racist who was up for Attorney General. Sources tell the Washington Post teachers wore black to protest her visit.
Protesters created a barricade that blocked DeVos’ vehicle from entering the premises, holding up signs that read “Black Lives Matter” and “Same on Mike Pence”. The trade group said the rule is harmful when applied to beauty schools, whose graduates typically underreport income from cash tips.

The Friday protesters in D.C. were small in number but loud in their dissent of DeVos. “She doesn’t have our best interests at heart”.
Mother Jones notes that DeVos once advocated to “retire” and “replace” Detroit’s public school system, while promoting charter schools (including private and Christian schools). But as anyone who has ever worked in a public school knows, it’s incredibly tone deaf. Why?
Her statement about the trip was released on the U.S. Department of Education’s website, along with several photos of her journey.

The human barricade took place at Jefferson Academy in SW. She does not have an education degree, and she has never been a teacher. Wouldn’t we be wanting her to learn?
This was the first time in history that a Vice President broke a tie vote for a cabinet member.
This means students from low-income backgrounds can’t afford a good education, Hershkowitz said. Collins’ intentions, but I urge her to prove me wrong. “Her belief in privatization without equal accountability leaves high-needs students behind”.
Jefferson Academy teachers were to stay in their classrooms during the protests.
