Give 'Em Hell!

This article from the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2017/02/17/devos-critics-want-to-make-my-life-a-living-hell/?tid=sm_fb&utm_term=.e723c39b24a2

Poor, poor Betsy. All she wants to do is strip our public schools in favor of private, charter, virtual, and schools that haven't been invented yet. All she wants to do is use "education" as a means to indoctrinate children into "God's Kingdom"--a violation of the first fucking amendment of the Constitution. All she wants to do is empower teachers to teach instead of having them sit on their ass in classrooms eating potato chips and bonbons all day (or whatever the fuck it is she thinks they're doing?). Fuck, even Glenn McCoy, a political cartoonist, defiled a Norman Rockwell painting depicting Ruby Bridges, a fucking hero in the desegregation and Civil Rights movement. (I hate Norman Rockwell paintings, but there's an exception for that one.)

She's upset because there are people protesting all of that stuff? YOU"RE DAMN RIGHT WE ARE! The video in the article shows Betsy's reaction to the protesters that blocked her entrance to Jefferson Middle School shows us, the people, that she has absolutely zero fucks to give about our children, parents, or anyone that isn't Betsy DeVos. Betsy could have stood and faced the people protesting. She had an opportunity to listen, to find out why they were so upset, and to show some tact and diplomacy. Instead, she turned around and practically ran to the security of her government-issued SUV.

The disdain she shows for the people is astounding. Donations to a political party, no matter how big, are not an investment. Cabinet seats should not be up for sale. Plagiarizing answers to Congress, especially as part of the application for running the Department of Education, is hypocritical and disgraceful. Not being able to get enough votes to get approval, and relying on the VP to make a political statement by casting the tie-breaking vote reflects that you're not the right candidate for the job. Yet, for Betsy, how fucking dare us peons stand up for ourselves, stand up to her and her vision for everyone else's children.

Well, Ms. Betsy, you can get mad and throw some more money at the Republican party, but we the people aren't going away. We will continue to give you hell as long as you are at the Department of Education. Maybe you should read the Constitution--the right to protest is protected. The right to buy your fucking way all of the time like a spoiled little princess isn't mentioned.
