DeVos, and education policy in general, is now on the radar of a larger part of the electorate than ever before.

There is a whole generation of the test prepped entering college and the workforce and the parents are just starting to see the damage that has been done. They are angry. edblisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792046029260177146noreply@blogger.com
