I wondered that too. I feel like the only reason you would list volunteer out like that is to prove a point. I'd love someone with actual knowledge to let us know though

God I love competence!

Biden wasn't my first choice, but I'm really glad we have someone with a lot of experience now. Despite the Trump administration tantrum on the transition, he isn't going to miss a beat on a transition team that's going to hit the ground running and keep going. They're already showing up the Trump team and they're not even in charge yet.

Time to send the children back to the kiddies table(Fox News) and bring the adults back into the room.

Why? NCLB is successful legislation that has been around since the sixties that has been updated . It is due for an update.

Do you ever think your knee jerk reaction to new policies means you aren’t evaluating them fairly?

DP. No, we've tried dumbing down schools. It fails everyone. Now we're ready to return to academic excellence.

The progressive wing isn’t in charge.

I know a handful of people across different teams, and they are very, very smart people. I'm excited they're on board with this.

Here’s the EPA

Members of the teams – many of whom have extensive experience in government – will meet with former agency officials and experts who follow those agencies, as well with officials from labor groups, think tanks, trade associations and other non-governmental organizations, the statement said.

Oh look the Obama team is back.

And boy do I love it!!!

Competence, intelligence, leadership all back on the table.

They’re all eminently qualified experts in their respective field. Unlike the Orange Turd’s administration which appointed the head of DHS because the guy’s last name was WOLFE.

Music to my ears!

Thanks. Maybe I'll start emailing them.

The transition team doesn’t overturn legislation.

Of course they don't. But they have ideas, goals.

They’re not repealing NCLB or ESSA. Especially the latter which was an Obama policy.
