They weren't playing with her.

And if she brings her ass to my hometown, I will be sure to make the 10 hour drive there to protest her. She is part of why Detroit schools are as fucked as they are now.

It was essentially a couple of protesters and a few members of the media.

So when someone feels politically powerless and asks what can I possibly do as just one little person? Now you can tell them, "Well, if you can find a friend or two, you can literally block Betsy DeVos from mucking things up at your school in person!"

Try to talk with them, explain what her policies are and why they are beneficial. She can't do that because she is not a good educator and her policies are horrible for the education system.

The protester's line about buying her way in was spot-on. Amwayer thinks she can buy her way into and out of anything. Not always.

deign to actually speak to these people who are probably concerned parents or members of the community. She can't just stop and say "OK let's talk"? She has to walk away butthurt like the little cupcake princess she is, back to her limo. UGH.

Betsy Amway probably picked up the phone the second she retreated to her car. "Erik? Who do you know that runs really bad charter schools? I have the perfect place for one."

If she DOES get in, we need a rear guard of the kids who like to pick their noses and wipe it on others.
