Opinion: Betsy DeVos Edumacashun Test – Trump Cabinet Continues Dismantling Common Sense

Betsy DeVos has a deep and profound love of fairytales and she plans to slather that love all over the children of America.

You often hear the phrase “conservative values” but what does that phrase mean? It is similar to phrases like “square circle” and “dry water” in that it is an oxymoron — a contradictory or impossible statement. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the Trump administration’s cabinet appointments: several of the rightwing nutjobs he appointed are on record as knowing nothing about the departments they will now lead; several are on record as wanting to destroy those departments.

Take, as one odious example, the doophus with a pole up her anus, Betsy DeVos.

As with all conservatives, Betsy is blind to her blind spots — which include ignorance, prejudice, religiosity, and a hatred of democracy. Her repulsive proselytizing for the forces of RCT (Radical Christian Terrorism) will soon result in new tests being administered to schoolkids all across our nation.
