Betsy DeVos

If only I had a dime for every time I have heard the claim America needs to spend more money on education.

School choice would give families more relief from the bullying/harassing form of violence than a whole battalion of school resource officers ever could.

Even though most studies using the highest quality of research show that underprivileged children benefit academically when able to use vouchers to attend private schools, the political and educationist Left use any scrap of data.

And it means overturning the Obama administration’s power grab and misguided surrender.

As Americans have slowly recovered from the now 10-year-old recession, enrollment in private schools has increased dramatically.

Washington should spare school choice its suffocating embrace.

For the record, The Heartland Institute has contacted nearly all members of the Trump cabinet. Can any of you explain to me how this differs from the relationship the previous administration had with liberal advocacy groups?

President Donald Trump may receive little or no credit anytime soon from within the public-education establishment for potentially easing the dead weight of federal mandates from the pursuit of learning in classrooms across the country.

Closing down the U.S. Education Department (– USED) could be a snap compared to repealing and replacing Obamacare.

Betsy DeVos survived a Senate confirmation process made bitter because of the opposition of the teachers unions, which fear that she can parlay her advocacy of school choice into much bigger gains for choice in her powerful new position.

Who is “smarter than the average bear?”

The National Education Association (NEA), the nation’s largest labor union, sent a mass e-mail last week urging supports to “Tell your senators: Vote NO on Betsy DeVos.”

To be followed next week with National School Choice Week.
