And had to be confirmed only due to the VP casting the tie breaking vote....to slim a margin I'd say, especially if your VP has to come down to break the tie. Well, let's see what she plans to do now that she's got the job. Edited by Tsalagi, Feb 7 2017, 05:09 PM.

I suspect Vice President Pence will be doing a lot of tie-break voting in the US Senate for the next few years. Sad day for American schools but a good lesson on crony capitalism and how to buy your way into a cabinet seat. |

As opposed to taxpayer funded atheist/socialist indoctrination? |

Not teaching religion is not an atheist/socialist indoctrination. That would be like trying to argue that not teaching chemistry is anti-science indoctrination. The public schools shouldn't be in the business of promoting religion simply because they're there to serve all members of the community and not just members of the prevalent religion. We have a separation between church and state not just to keep non-Christians from being indoctrinated by Christians, but also to keep Christians from being indoctrinated by Muslims, Jews, or Christians from another denomination. If you start funneling public money into religious schools you leave non-religious schools underfunded and you ensure that those who aren't of the predominate religion don't receive equal treatment by the state. Objecting to that isn't atheist or socialist, it's just good common sense. |

https://news.vice.com/story/school-choice-detroit-betsy-devos Lack of regulation has meant charter operators with bad track records or no record at all have cropped up in Detroit and across the state. A 2014 Detroit Free Press investigation into mismanagement in the charter school sector found the state had spent nearly $1 billion on charter schools yet public accountability had plummeted and schools were floundering. A 2013 Stanford University study found that more than half of Detroit’s charter schools failed to perform “significantly better” in math and reading and in some cases performed worse than Detroit public schools. Overall, the report found that 84 percent of charter students in Michigan performed below the state average in math and 80 percent were below the state average in reading.

Nothing scares a regressive liberal more than choice. I guess liberals prefer to have to have gubmint tell them where to go to school. Can one of our progressive liberals please explain what it is about choice that scares you so? I don't get it? Edited by PATruth, Feb 7 2017, 06:06 PM.
