School has really changed. At the Tuesday night—and now we know why this one wasn’t in prime time—senate hearing for popular vote loser Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, there was a remarkable exchange. It turns out that DeVos isn’t sure that guns don’t have a place in school because—not making this up—grizzly bears. Watch it:
And if that wasn’t enough, DeVos isn’t too keen on schools being required to provide access to disabled students …
Should anyone be surprised? After all:
DeVos has used her money to shape the Michigan education system, pushing privatization and undermining local public schools. The result: increased segregation and declining school quality. In Detroit, teachers had to fight to draw attention to rodents, moldy food, and crumbling buildings. DeVos has accumulated a frighteningly anti-LGBT record in her personal giving. The DeVos-influenced years in Michigan education have been a disaster.
Now add to that, grizzly bear danger and the disabled on their own … oy vey.
