    Thanks for making my point. No matter how dimwitted, unprepared, and unqualified the candidate matters not to trump sycophants. If people with critical thinking skills object, it must have merit. Trump is lucky to have such unprincipled people as his apologists.

    I doubt it eludes, I am more certain to believe that approval is only derivative of agreement of the basic liberal tenancies. Liberal 'merika' aren't actually defending liberty. They are rushing head long into the world of active tyranny.

    Oh, there has to be a certain number of people performing physical obstruction before it becomes a problem. OK, I get it. :smile:


    If you had read the topic and at least the first few responses, that's what your crystal ball would have clearly told you, if it wasn't in the shop. The main thing is we're in sync now. Thanks.

    Well, they can't pick their students, but they can reject the ones they don't want. At least locally, most of the charters have been a disaster. Then again, we do have a few magnet schools and have intra district school choice--basically if a kid isn't a trouble maker, they can go to whatever school in the district they want to (besides the more popular magnet schools).

    There were only three people there!

    There were more observers than protesters.

    Being one that started out as a any republican but Trump individual, I have come around to screw the petulant leftie/socialist crybabies. It is now my hope that ever appointment and everything Trump does gives them cause to take more and more anti depressants.
    Go Donald, continue to drive them further over the cliff. Every day Christmas.

    What should matter to you is that the educational needs of millions of children in this country have been flushed down the toilet by past political clowns you seem to hold in high esteem. She hasn't been on the job for more than a day or two and you're already tearing her down jumping into ugly partisan political discourse.

    DeVos is a different model. Her leadership will either work or it won't. But trying something new isn't a sin. It's what we should do when past actions haven't worked. What a concept!!

    The right to join with fellow citizens in protest or peaceful assembly is critical to a functioning democracy and at the core of the First Amendment. Unfortunately, law enforcement officials sometimes violate this right through means intended to thwart free public expression.
    Recognize this at all? Or are you marching in step with "the gropenfheruer" you know, your hero,"the peemeiseter, the donald".
    LOL wow!!!

    Try looking up the success rates of "charter" schools in Michigan, where this buffoon is from before making the statement you made.

    If she can fix this terrible education system we're currently under, who cares where she's from or how much she paid or made? Does it concern you so much that you're gonna look past the chance to fix something? Mighty partisan of ya.

    It's time to send the military into these places where people are being denied access. Much like President Eisenhower did in Little Rock when democrats were trying to deny black students from entering a white school. It's time to stop the anarchy!

    Paid subhumans like this, told where to go and what time to show up, are why Trump is president and why democrats will keep losing. They are actually starting to act like the muslim protestors in the middle east.

    Making Fred Flinstone sec of Ed would be something new. That doesn't mean we should try it. Sorry, but you don't get to disqualify credentials and experience when it comes to education in favor of something new. If that's the best trump apologists can come up with for DeVos holding this position, you'll have to try better than that.

    I'll ask the question that i've asked other trump apologists in this thread. What about DeVos makes you think she's qualified to handle this job? What about her experience, education or resume makes you think she's competent enough? What about the grilling she received from congress makes you feel as if she isn't in completely over head? Try to answer without deflection. Support your messiah's choice.

    Blocking her access doesn't fall under those protections. They should have been removed.

    you mean they should be indoctrinated into "the gropenfheurers, peemeister, the donalds" ways. Nice one.
