Don't forget Murkowski and Collins could have blocked her. There's no such thing as a good Republican.

The American people deserve every bit of this. She'll make sure they stay stupid to continue voting for Republicans. Can't wait for the Teacher Union hate once this administration starts really burning Public Education to the ground.

Be that as it may; Dems fired the shot and now have to live with it.

Even Murkowski and Collins only voted No because their vote wouldn't matter. They're all cowards.

How else can you continue to produce religious zealot drones for children in a world with an open source of information like the internet?

Republicans are just bad people, folks.
Plain and simple.

Innocent kids don't deserve this. Sorry.
Republicans ain't shit and as much as it sucks to say it, I hope the bullshit introduced intensifies to the point every single mother fucker is out of office when all is said and done.
Legit no fucks given about the american people. It's so unfortunate that idiots will continue to let these fucks continue to ruin our country in the name of party politics, racism, and ignorance.

Our already bad education system going to get worse. Can't wait.
Fuck all of the GOP and their supporters who enable this shit.

I know, that was the point I was making. None of the constituents wanted her in this position. Everyone knew she was totally inept. A lot of the Republicans that voted for her are gonna face some heat (for a little while before everyone forgets about it and votes strictly party-only again when election time comes).

If they tell you to do stupid shit that is against your better judgement, don't do it. It is kids' futures in the stakes here.

2018 will be the final test for the Democratic party and supporters alike. If the votes don't come in then it'll show that the Democratic movement is no longer viable in America.

That was for political reasons and they already knew she was safe.
Fair enough, just realized the chart I'm looking at doesn't include the Devos vote from today.
I think the point still stands though.

Wow awesome. It had to happen when I'm about to become a teacher.

Because her approach to education is: "I believe there should be schools. Probably Jesus schools."
So McCain can be bought for $36k? I don't even know what to say.
Blunt was a goddamn public school teacher once. How could he lose so much integrity? Does he even stand for anything? Why did we reelect him?

The voucher stuff is basically just a scheme to increase the stratification of education quality

They all mostly send their kids to Private Schools anyway. Why the fuck would they care about the rest of the country?
This is literally the "take care of yourselves by yourself" congress.

teachers unions are a net benefit to the country.
charter schools and vouchers as currently envisioned are a scheme to let rich people prevent their tax dollars from contributing to the education of poor and middle class kids
her senate hearing made it pretty clear she's unqualified to make decisions about education, or most other things, and is being chosen for ideology over ability.
Yup. I got mine.
Republicans thrive on dumb, so it makes sense. Sucks that the next generation is already a victim of the current goverment though.
yuuuup.

Not surprising after that slimy committee confirmation. You'd think that out of any group to look out for, children would be the one that either side would be willing to compromise whatever hardlines or beliefs they have for the benefit of the goddamn future.
You'd think that.
Nope, it's proof that you can become anything with some money. Was thinking of giving the position a shot myself, good thing I'm a
billionaire.
