Would you go work for her? I could apply and I am decidedly not crazy and am smart and reasonable. I hope good people do go into gov't service. But is it career suicide to be associated with this administration? Would you work for her just to attempt to mitigate the situation?

Scary as fuck.

Who is the young man in the background with down syndrome? Was she trying to make herself look more sympathetic by having minority and disabled students sitting behind her? Like she really gives a crap about anyone.

Horrifying!

So instead of complaining on an anonymous board, what are we going to do?

Scary as fuck.

She also got confused on the debate between growth and proficiency.

OMG. All of Trump's picks are from the Bizarro world.

This woman has been a nightmare for Michigan Schools. She basically wants to privatize everything and eliminate public schools all together. Her philosophy is basically that there's nothing that privatization and Jesus can't solve.

NP here. Not sure if there are articles yet, but my spouse heard it on C-SPAN.

Here's a tweet about it: https://twitter.com/emmersbrown/status/821526408807776259

Basically she said that it should be up to the states...Tim Kaine said, so families will have to move to a different state if their kids need services?

It's disgusting. The AG pick doesn't like IDEA either...

Not OP, but equally horrified.

Do you have a link? I totally believe you, just want to listen myself.

and during testimony said she was going to let states decide if they would comply with it for students.

Please spread the word and reach out to your representatives. If states were given the option of non-compliance, they would.
