With Vice President Mike Pence breaking the tie in the Senate, Betsy DeVos has become the Trump Education Secretary. It was considered a historic vote because of the need for the Vice President, who is President of the Senate, to break the tie.
Democrats threw their Trumper Tantrum overnight and used the time to complain that Senator Jeff Sessions would vote to confirm DeVos. Of course, had the Democrat Senators allowed Senator Jeff Sessions to be confirmed as Attorney General, it would not have been possible to confirm Betsy DeVos for the Education Department.
The Senator who replaced the terminally stupid Barbara Boxer from California is Kamala Harris. She is proving herself a worthy replacement for Barbara Boxer and should provide entertainment for the next six years. Twitchy.com that Harris said that Mrs. DeVos is more of a threat to education than grizzly bears. From Twitchy.com:
Of course Senator Harris (a Democrat from CA) is referring to the fake news around Betsy DeVos and grizzly bears. That being said, clearly the senator has never actually seen or interacted with a grizzly, otherwise she wouldn’t say something so stupid.
Then again, she is a Democrat.
With the treacherous Senators Collins and Murkowski voting with the Teachers’ Unions against DeVos, it feel to Vice President Mike Pence to do his duty and drag Betsy DeVos over the finish line.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced last night on his Majority Leader web page that this is the slowest confirmation since the First President of the United States George Washington. And, George Washington was building a government from the ground up. Well done, Senate Democrats (sarc).
Congratulations to Betsy DeVos the new Secretary of Education. Now, help the children of the United States get the boot of the Teachers’ Union of of their necks.
I don’t normally wish that harm be visited on people, but if I could wish it upon these two RINOs, I would.
Of course I mean that in a good way……
OC- The best kind of harm…me, too.

Here’s to hoping that she not only pushes school choice, but that she does her best to get the national gov’t out of the education business altogether. Between eliminating the homogenization and letting parents decide how they want to school their children, American kids could really thrive – and not just the ones who can afford to run for office and put their kids into “academies” in DC.

Maybe she’ll fix title IX
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has introduced H.R. 899, a one-sentence long bill which would eliminate the Department of Education in its entirety by the end of 2018.
It’s a thing of beauty.
Amen
