DeVos to lead Trump task force on prevention of school violence

[orangecrush]

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says she will lead a task force to examine how states are taking steps to prevent violence in their schools, following the Parkland, Fla., shooting last month that left 17 dead.

DeVos said in an interview airing on CBS News' "60 Minutes" on Sunday that she believes arming teachers “should be an option for states and communities to consider,” though said she “couldn’t ever imagine” her own first-grade teacher being armed in the classroom.



“I have actually asked to head up a task force that will really look at what states are doing,” DeVos said, according to an advance transcript. “See, there are a lot of states that are addressing these issues in very cohesive and coherent ways.”

President Donald Trump is expected to appoint DeVos on Monday as head of a task force dedicated to developing policies to curb school violence, CBS News reported. DeVos last week visited the site of the mass shooting, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, and said at the time she'd be putting out more recommendations on school safety.

So the sister of Erik Prince is going to be in charge of ending violence in schools.

2. That is simple....

..... burn all the science and history books and give every pupil a buy-bull. Then make daily six hour buy-bull studies classes mandatory.

Kindergarten, elementary, junior high, high school, and college - only give out divinity and religious studies graduation certificates and degrees of higher learning.

15. What is it.... ?

The mega rich folk do not think the property taxes on their palatial homes are fair or reasonable and blame it on high local education costs ? So they trash the schools, trash the teachers, and trash the teachers work unions - in the hopes they can privatize the whole local public education system down to less than 1/3 total costs. Driving their property taxes down correspondingly ?
