Please educate yourself, FRiend.
Secy DeVos is NOT a “do-nothing.”

In the face of appalling vitriol, hatred, & resistance, she has actually done a LOT at the federal level which has infuriated the lefties.
She tossed Obama’s transgender bathroom EO.

She has the self-serving public school teachers’ unions in a snit by promoting— and releasing funding for— school choice vouchers at the Federal level.

The transgressions you note are happening in LOCAL school districts controlled by leftists.

It’s up to conservative voters to get active at the LOCAL & STATE level to stop those things.

When’s the last time you went to a local school board meeting?
Do you even know WHO is ON your local school board or in control of your local library— or what they stand for?
How about your state senators & district representatives?
Do you participate in local & state elections?
Campaign for conservative candidates?

Complaining that the Feds aren’t top-down, dictatorial enough to suit you is actually a tacit admission that YOU are the “do-nothing.”

Instead of griping that DeVos (& by logical extension, Trump) isn’t single-handedly fixing everything fast enough, get off the couch & get active, FRiend.

Hero for shifting money around? Man, bureaucratic positions are something else then to you I guess.

So what? She shuffled some money here and meanwhile the grades etc. situations throughout are the same as when she was put in. Sure charter schools do better, but she’s temporary and not doing anything bold and long lasting in this age of the feel good policy political landscape.

Defend it all you want, she and the agency all together would be best dissolved. Local/State could do the same.

Everyone just loves the feel good government ran education system, obviously, to our own detriment.

Ugh.

Also activism is great, for people with that type of time on their hands huh?
