We call on Trump to rescind his nomination of extremist DeVos as education secretary.

The Issue

Betsy DeVos believes that education reform can "advance God's kingdom" and wants to use taxpayer dollars to fund religious schools that will indoctrinate children to believe creationism as opposed to real science. DeVos believes that public schools have "replaced church" as the center of communities and she wants to break up what she calls the "monopoly" that she believes public schools have on education. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/betsy-devos-education-trump-religion-232150?cmpid=sf

 

We call on Trump to rescind his nomination of this extremist and appoint someone who wants to improve public education, not tear it down and replace it with Christian schools.
