Betsy DeVos: Many of you are asking about Common Core. To clarify, I am not a supporter—period.

You guys ever get conned into an Amway seminar by friends?

Yes.  In the early '90s.  I felt dirty for days afterwards.

One of the most miserable evenings of our lives probably 25 years ago.

I wanted to do something violent to them, but my husband prevailed.....   

It DID make us both smarter though.............. not easily fooled any more.

She is part of the Amway DeVos family. Forgiving that however, she does seem to be pretty Conservative.

She also has no experience regarding education other than having been involved with a number of public
school reform groups.

If anything, from the look of her resume, she'd have been better off if Donaldus Minimus picked her as
his prospective energy secretary---she and her husband run a couple of companies involved in clean
energy. Someone on the Donaldus Minimus team isn't doing all their homework.

Yep, back in the 1980s. I'll admit I liked their laundry soap, that SA8 was good stuff and pretty much
did what it said, but I didn't feel like paying the annual fee to be in the business and put up with
the Brother-Love-Traveling-Salvation-Show chazerei at the damn seminars just to get a box of
laundry soap, even if the box actually did last six months.

She’s known for supporting charter schools and vouchers.

I'm known for this too.  More points for Trump.

I've just read that she funds The Acton Institute... which has called for reintroducing child labor.
