DeVos says America's public schools are designed to replace home, family

 

In 2015, Michigan billionaire Betsy DeVos declared that “government really sucks” — and after serving nearly four years as U.S. education secretary, she has not tempered that view one iota. She gave a speech last week at a Christian college disparaging the U.S. public education system, saying it is set up to replace the home and family.

 

While blasting the government is nothing new for DeVos — critics see her as the most ideological and anti-public-education secretary in the Education Department’s 40-plus-year history — she gave what may be her fiercest anti-government polemic at the Hillsdale College event in her home state recently.

 

She explained how her philosophy was formed by Abraham Kuyper, a neo-Calvinist Dutch theologian-turned-politician who was prime minister of the Netherlands between 1901 and 1905 and who believed that Protestant, Catholic and secular groups should run their own independent schools and colleges. The United States could fix its education system, she said, if it were to “go Dutch” by embracing “the family as the sovereign sphere that it is, a sphere that predates government altogether.”

 

She said that if given a second term as education secretary, she would keep pushing for alternatives to traditional public schools. 

 

DeVos, the only Cabinet member in history to be confirmed only with the help of a vice president to break a Senate tie, also said at Hillsdale:

Health Agency Halts Coronavirus Ad Campaign, Leaving Santa Claus in the Cold

 

A federal health agency halted a public-service coronavirus advertising campaign funded by $250 million in taxpayer money after it offered a special vaccine deal to an unusual set of essential workers: Santa Claus performers.

 

Michael Caputo, an assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS), offered Santa performers early access to COVID-19 vaccines.

 

In an August call with Ric Erwin, chairman of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas, Caputo said early vaccines may be given to front-line workers in November.

 

"If you and your colleagues are not essential workers, I don't know what is," Caputo told Erwin in a recorded call provided to the Journal.

 

Caputo took medical leave in September after spreading wild conspiracies about armed left-wing "hit squads" attacking Trump's inauguration.

You parents better have a plan for the Santa/no Santa questions from your kids.  ("Yes, Santa is essential, but he knows about social distancing, just like we've been doing...you wouldn't want Santa to get sick & not be able to come next year, right?")  My 8-year-old granddaughter already knows the secret, her dad & I discussed it, because I worried that she didn't & had already kind of worked out the above "speech".  :ols:
