Betsy DeVos, reactionary Christian heiress, one Republican vote away from being defeated for Education Secretary

This is a useful account of why she is in trouble.  Even Senator Murkowski (R-Alaska) was hearing from constituents alarmed about her!  She knows nothing about public schools, indeed, is bent on destroying them quite clearly–which doesn't pay well in states with large rural populations.  If you're in one of those states, call your Republican Senator's office to express your concern that the nominee is ignorant about and appears hostile to public schools!  (Earlier post on this topic.)
