Discussion: DeVos Tries To Walk Back Statement About Black Colleges, School Choice

1 Like

Yep, nothing says “school choice” like “you can’t go to this school, so make your own.”

Also too…please enjoy this off-topic schadenfreude moment with me…

20 years and 15 years under a law that was, arguably, enacted to target minorities!!! Oooooh, those tears…so sweet and tasty…nom nom nom nom nom nommity nom.

However, I must say…

“If you drive around town with a Confederate flag, yelling the N-word, you know how it’s going to be interpreted,” Judge William McClain said. “It’s inexplicable to me that you weren’t arrested by the police that day."

Really, Judge? It’s inexplicable to you that the police in SC failed to arrest a gaggle of rednecks waving the confederate flag, pointing firearms at black people and shouting the n-bomb? Have you slept all through your years living on Planet South Carolina?

Too late, Ms. DeVos; are you not aware of something called “The Internet”? There are words and pictures.

The insincere walk-back. The consistent direction of the GOP walking brain-dead.

Rumor has it that Devos pushed Snyder in the recent – possibly illegal – attempt to close 38 schools inadequately funded. In one situation, the nearest alternative schools of any nature are some thirty miles away. Not all the parents have cars.

Shorter Devos: Nothing improves our ability to live in a diverse society better than requiring parents to pick the private madrasah of their choice. Aren’t I a fine example?

The next walk-back?

I’m gob-smacked that the story was on a FUX News affiliate.

It actually seemed like they understood what total racist shit-heads these two red-necks were.

Even more surprised they didn’t comment on the delicious irony of a Georgia red-neck names Jose Torres…

Go figure…

“Walk back”? Are you fucking kidding me? Betsy DeVos is such a goddamned maroon she can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone walk backward.

They know their target audience only reads the headline anyway. There’s another article on there somewhere with a headline like “Jon Stewart To Media: Get Over Trump” as if he’s telling everyone to stop throwing a tantrum over him being elected, etc., but when you read the article and his quotes, he’s really just taking a giant crap all over Trump. The headline will be all they read anyway.

The Senate just thought they were hiring a school secretary.

The woman is so obviously shallow and stupid she will continue to insert her foot in mouth. She is completely devoid of any common experiences with anyone who works for a living or might actually have to send their children to a “Public” school.
Just let Sean or KellyAnn Trumpsplain it to people for you.
They’re experts

Opinionated, prejudiced and utterly unqualified for the office.

Perfect Trump Cabinet Secretary.
