Bay Area Teachers, Parents & Public Education Supporters Rally Against Trump Appointment of Betsy DeVos
Hundreds of teachers, parents and supporters of public education rallied in Oakland on January 31, 2017 against the appointment by Trump of Betsy DeVos
Hundreds of teachers, parents and supporters of public education rallied at the Oakland Federal Building on January 31, 2017 against the appointment of privatizer and voucher/charter supporter Betsy DeVos who Trump has appointed to be US Education Secretary. Participants and speakers charged that DeVos would destroy public education and had financial conflicts. She is a religious cultist who wants public funding for religious schools and wants vouchers to totally destroy public schools and education unions.
They also discussed the role of charters in re-segregating the schools and financial corruption and growing financial conflicts of interest as well as discrimination against disabled students.
