Teachers’ Unions Gleeful: ‘Bye Betsy,’ End to School Choice

Dr. Susan Berry 8 Nov 2020

The national teachers’ unions are gleeful that a number of media outlets have called the presidential election for former Vice President Joe Biden.

“We know Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will stand with us as we work to reclaim public education as a common good, as the foundation of this democracy,” National Education Association (NEA) President Becky Pringle said in a video message.

Pringle said she is especially looking forward to the exit of current Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, a champion of school choice:

Quote
Step one will be to replace Betsy DeVos with an education secretary who will understand and value and protect public education and respect the voices and professional expertise of educators. NEA’s vision for public education is to transform it into a racially and socially just and equitable system that’s actually designed to prepare every student, everyone, to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world.

I'm relieved and overjoyed. I’m also feeling overwhelming gratitude.

Because of you all, we’ll soon have a president committed to protecting and uplifting our communities. For the first time, the Vice President will be a Black woman and a daughter of immigrants.

I hope we'll see a massive exodus from the public schools, then.

Democrats don't want poor kids going to the good schools that rich kids go to.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

If I'm not mistaken, school choice has been around long before Betsy DeVos with the push for both school choice and Common Core led by Jeb!

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
