She suggested that some schools may have a legitimate reason to want to have a gun there that is accessible by teachers, therefore it's a bad idea to require, as an arbitrary federal rule, that schools be 100% gun-free. Somehow her position got dumbed-down to "because grizzly." Sad.
I mean, besides the extreme conflict of interest and the risk of making America even dumber, she can't even follow simple instructions like answering Yes or No.
As a Tennesseean, I apologize on behalf of our piece of shit senator, Lamar Alexander, who refused to vote against her in her confirmation hearings and allowed her to even get this far. His constituents have overwhelmingly told him to oppose her, and he's ignored us.
As someone who is very proud of my religious views let me make one thing clear. Religious education does not belong in the public school system, outside of the realm of historical insight. We live in a country of full diversity and as such we have to make sure that what is being taught can be applicable to ALL children in schools who WILL come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Religious education, of any kind, belongs to the religious institutions and homes of those who practice such things. I am a proud Christian who believes in the heavily supported evidence behind natural selection and evolution. Betsy DeVos claims that such claims infringe on the religious rights of students. False, the withholding of COMPLETE scientific education from children in schools is infringing on their rights to a quality education. Betsey DeVos is here to push her own agenda, not to educate children in public schools.
How come we never talk about why college tuition is so ridiculously high in the first place? Instead why are we always talking about how to continue to pay for the rising tuition? All we're doing is enabling the Academic-Industrial Complex.
Why should people who send their kids to private school have to pay for a public school they don't benefit in any way from while still have to pay for private?
Finland's education sector is almost entirely state funded, but it regularly comes in the top five nations on all measurable results.Why would you ignore a system that is shown to work?
I can't say enough how much I adore John Iadarola. He's so witty, smart, and easy to listen to! I love his approach! "It is based on alternative facts." timing on point!
It would be really cool to actually have people who disagree with you regularly on the show. It would mean you had integrity and were open to ideas and would allow your audience to see both sides of the argument and would cut down on the irrational violence we have seen lately.
John, As a Maine resident, I am familiar with Senator Collins' speech pattern. It seems that she is affected by a form of sposmadic dysphonia. Similar to the disorder that affect's Diane Rehm's speech.
If you want to go to private school, then pay for it. Public schools are extremely important. Plus, isn't it strange that the only two republicans to really understand the situation and have the BALLS to go against yet another clueless billionaire are women. Maybe others should join them as the panorama is blatantly obvious and stop being such cowardly rats.
Anna's final point is by far the most important. How many loyal Republican school administrators who have actual experience in education were overlooked? My guess is there are thousands of Republican administrators that would be better suited for this job.
I'd have to work until this unbelievably unqualified woman so relying on my fellow Republicans to have a moral conscience is a nerve wracking experience.
I'm glad two senators thought with their mind and not with the party. Betsey DeVos did not attend public school, nor send her children or grandchildren. She wasn't even an educator. This woman is unqualified for the position and shouldn't be responsible for millions of children in the public school system and educators.
how about ending the public/private debate by nationalising the final exams? that way you create an equal minimum everyone needs to know before leaving school.
What was so difficult about Susan Collins' decision?? DeVos was more than clearly unqualified. Anyone that would vote for her is telegraphing where their priorities reside.
Will see but if anything, sacrificial lamb. Devos is terrible, and I don't want her anywhere near the school system . However, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Trump is using her as a 'win' for the rest of us so the other scary nominees can move forward. They never wanted Devos in this position. She's another distraction.
If voters watch their Senators vote this idiotic choice into office, they have to start explaining immediately to their constituents why they felt this incompetent woman was qualified to run a government department!! And then they have to hire anyone who applies for a job in their office; particularly if they are poorly educated, unqualified (for anything) and cant read. Because if the American public has to put up with that kind of incompetence in their public officials, THEN YOU DO TOO. After all, it's the least you can do.
I consider myself a religious person, and I'm 100% in favor of a secular public education system. If you want to teach religion to your kids, do it in your house, not our classrooms.
So if the voucher program was enacted and they got rid of all public schools, would that mean that if you have a disability or cannot afford to go to school and there was no way to be able to do homeschooling that you would either be forced to pay anyway or not be able to go to school so only the wealthy kids get an education? Public schools in Vegas are absolutely terrible, I think out of all the years I attended school in Vegas only maybe two or three actually cared and did their jobs, hate to say it, but public schools in Vegas are just glorified daycares, I've had actual school administration and faculty at the schools tell me this. I couldn't not pass the math proficiency there because I have a learning disability and was told I was lying and was lazy, why? Teachers there for the most part do not care, I've had a few that didn't actually teach anything and sat there the entire time and read the newspaper and did zero teaching, luckily I managed to pass the proficiency in another state the year before so I just moved back and graduated there, proficiency scores do not transfer and I barely passed the first time.
When you can't physically beat your opposition into submission, you dissolve their resources, once desperation sets in, they are much more malleable. Create in fighting, to combat the opposition from within. Easy peasy, humans react more often than think.
I think its time to unsubscribe. I'm very disappointed with this channel for the past few months. Failing to report on real news, turning alt left and keeping some very important information from subscribers. All I had to do was some research to see it.
Mary James It's easy to do, just hit the button. Just find something else, i'm staying right here. And this video is as honest as it can be, Devos is a terrible pick even for republicans.
It is also a slippery slope when schools take public money and pick and choose who they serve in the form of charter schools! Descrimination and segregation will likely become serious problems.Betsy Devoss is clueless about Educational law and testing! She should in NO WAY be allowed in this position!
What if it was a ploy? They tag teamed and were like "we wanna get paid off, lets just say we will oppose devos and theyll clamor to pay us". I mean, is that totally out of the realm of possibility? Idk
They stated it in the intro - because De Vos is wildly under qualified, has no experience and has no clue about a number of issues within education. She was nominated by Trump because her family donated hundreds of millions to the Republican party, and the corruption was so obvious that a few republicans could actually see it.
Wasn't sen. susan collins on the committee hearing for deVos?... why didn't she just vote against her then. This seems like a purely symbolic gesture and I see very unlikely to for a 3rd republican to come out and stop the Pence tie-breaker vote.
I suspect that Republicans felt so guilty at the thought of having to approve so many really bad Trump appointments that they felt forced to reject to at least one of them and these two ladies drew the short straws.
I'm getting serious deja vu. I've seen these remarks about Donald Trump retaliating against those that break party lines before, in those exact words, that exact tonality, by the same person, like a month ago. Somebody please tell me I'm not going mad. Either that or I can see into the future. In which case, right now I'm drawing a blank.
DeVos! Lately, I have witnessed several, many, videos pulled from Google YT. The last one, a documentary about Afghanistan and the Blackwater corporation. Blackwater employs about 20,000 mercenaries mostly from England who are paid 7500 US a month to find and kill opposition there. According to US Vets, To protect the opium drug trade. The blackwater group is owned by DeVos's brother and listed on the stock market. (DeVos the Trump pick for education.) In this video, a hidden camera shows this old tired man building a shallow rock wall he gets up, completely unarmed, wearing normal clothing, a shirt, and pants slowly walks a yard or two and tiredly turns. An English Blackwater man from 4 or 5 feet away, shoots him in the chest, the man puts his hand out to stop the bullet as he feels it penetrate, fifteen more shots are fired at the man as he falls to the ground and while he is dead laying there further bullets hit the dead body. I complained about the brutality and someone responded that it was just a Muslim who cares! Does anyone see a problem with this picture?????????????
She suggested that some schools need guns because of Grizzly Bears.
She suggested that some schools may have a legitimate reason to want to have a gun there that is accessible by teachers, therefore it's a bad idea to require, as an arbitrary federal rule, that schools be 100% gun-free. Somehow her position got dumbed-down to "because grizzly." Sad.
The worst part is the school she cited doesn't want guns in the school, and they use a fence to keep bears off campus.
@mediamancer She suggested that some schools need guns because of Grizzly Bears.
Sir Gerbil Macintosh she is dumber than Trump
@Corey Maybe she should run for President?
If the Republicans only cross party lines for one nominee, let it be against Betsy DeVos.
its about time people use there brains n stand up for our children's education and against stupidity...
But, If DeVos is gone, then who'll save kids from the Grizzly Bears???
Just build a fence.
Ryw316 or a Wall ?
Just one more Republican and then she'll be rejected.
Whether you're democratic or republican, you have to admit that Betsy devos would be a horrible secretary of education
Love that background/tagline. 20 years later and Lauryn Hill is still iconic.
She didnt even know about the one of the most argued debates within the education community, growth vs proficiency.
TBH this is the only cabinet pick that I actually don't want to be picked.
“Let us tenderly and kindly cherish therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.”
- John Adams
Democrats,Republicans please listen to the people!
Abolish the IRS and the Departments of Education, Energy, Commerce, HUD, Agriculture, Transportation, EPA, TSA, FDA, DEA, DHS, and Interior/BLM.
I mean, besides the extreme conflict of interest and the risk of making America even dumber, she can't even follow simple instructions like answering Yes or No.
As a Tennesseean, I apologize on behalf of our piece of shit senator, Lamar Alexander, who refused to vote against her in her confirmation hearings and allowed her to even get this far. His constituents have overwhelmingly told him to oppose her, and he's ignored us.
she's going after the children, their mind and their knowledge . she must be stopped, period.
okay...1:04...did she just say "Madame President"? 😂😂😂
Betsy DeVos needs to be stopped!
Under Obama, highest high-school graduation rates.
Under Trump probability: Highest dropout rates and TH-cam posters.
couldn't he just sign an executive order to make her education secretary lol?
She's an absolutely ridiculous pic to run such an apartment.
Whenever GOP in power preschool dissapears
If only we had the option to Opt out of paying for the wall and private school, and let the people who voted for Trump to pay for.

Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski you are the best Republicans to this date for me. thank you TYT for covering this story.
Thank you, Ana for all of your input. It is appreciated. :)
How come we never talk about why college tuition is so ridiculously high in the first place? Instead why are we always talking about how to continue to pay for the rising tuition? All we're doing is enabling the Academic-Industrial Complex.
Why should people who send their kids to private school have to pay for a public school they don't benefit in any way from while still have to pay for private?
Sam Smith you get a tax deduction up to 5K if your kids go to private school. that will usually cover the school taxes you pay annually.
it benefits them to have an educated public
Sam Smith Would you rather have your neighborhood full of backward illiterates? That's what you avoid by paying for public school.
Because they elected to send their kids to private school and did not have to.
So some people have decided to do the right thing for once...Big deal.
Say goodbye to your Pell Grants. Oh and public schools. Say goodbye to public schools.
Finland's education sector is almost entirely state funded, but it regularly comes in the top five nations on all measurable results.Why would you ignore a system that is shown to work?
Where is link for financial support?
I can't say enough how much I adore John Iadarola. He's so witty, smart, and easy to listen to! I love his approach! "It is based on alternative facts." timing on point!
1:08 How is opposing Betsy Devos shouldn't be a difficult decision? It should be obvious!
David Harrison it is difficult to go against their own party, maybe even ruining their own careers
'Fight The Powder' - Talcum X, 2017
Anyone else getting a Prager U ad on school choice before the video?
Thankfully Susan Collin listened to the Maine people. This is why you need to call your local senators! It makes a difference.
It would be really cool to actually have people who disagree with you regularly on the show. It would mean you had integrity and were open to ideas and would allow your audience to see both sides of the argument and would cut down on the irrational violence we have seen lately.
John, As a Maine resident, I am familiar with Senator Collins' speech pattern. It seems that she is affected by a form of sposmadic dysphonia. Similar to the disorder that affect's Diane Rehm's speech.
Women shouldn't be running any federal departments.
Republicans with principles and a continuous? Wow...
Somebody removed the entire Criticism section of "charter schools" on its Wikipedia page
If you want to go to private school, then pay for it. Public schools are extremely important. Plus, isn't it strange that the only two republicans to really understand the situation and have the BALLS to go against yet another clueless billionaire are women. Maybe others should join them as the panorama is blatantly obvious and stop being such cowardly rats.
She's not fit for the JOB, so what you voted from TRUMP.
Before this video I legit got an ad about how great school choice is how education should have competition 😷🤐🤐
Oh that must be Devostating news for her!
I commend these 2 courageous, patriotic and ethical ladies for doing the right thing. Thank you, ladies. I will not forget this.
Carson, Devos, Perry and Pompeo are the worst nominees.
Anna's final point is by far the most important. How many loyal Republican school administrators who have actual experience in education were overlooked? My guess is there are thousands of Republican administrators that would be better suited for this job.
I'll be surprised if they get another. Expecting 3/52 Republicans to be reasonable is crazy talk.
I'd have to work until this unbelievably unqualified woman so relying on my fellow Republicans to have a moral conscience is a nerve wracking experience.
This is not going to be alt right
How did Betsy get nominated? Did she answer an ad? If the let her win , kiss an entire generation's education bye bye. Step up Republicans!
I'm glad two senators thought with their mind and not with the party. Betsey DeVos did not attend public school, nor send her children or grandchildren. She wasn't even an educator. This woman is unqualified for the position and shouldn't be responsible for millions of children in the public school system and educators.
Always more women do the right thing. Proud to be a woman!
People voting against their best interest is the reason we are in this mess.
I wonder if (when?) they impeach Trump, will there be a slew of "You're Fired!" jokes coming from news and Congress alike?
We need one more
Of course Repubican women senators had the balls to cross party lines!
how about ending the public/private debate by nationalising the final exams? that way you create an equal minimum everyone needs to know before leaving school.
So much for draining the swamp Trump ...
Even without sessions, they still need one more vote....
PUBLIC EDUCATION IS THE ONLY SAFE POSITIVE PLACES FOR SOME KIDS
it's 50-50 if the Senate votes on party lines. VP Pence breaks the tie and she's still in. ):
Earl A. Birkett gosh I hope not she is an idiot...
Earl A. Birkett so its a dictatorship then
KonstantinGaming pretty much. Reuters says it is covering Trump as if he were Putin or a Third World despot.
What was so difficult about Susan Collins' decision?? DeVos was more than clearly unqualified. Anyone that would vote for her is telegraphing where their priorities reside.
Betty DeVos. Worst pick ever. May she be denied her attempt to destroy education and fade away into her own mediocrity.
I feel like all the people who complain about how charter schools are not fair are the same people who send their kids to private school.
In an oligarchy an educated and informed electorate is not only undesirable, it is dangerous and it puts the desired social order in jeopardy.
Did Murkowski and Collins really not vote Nay even though they said they would not???? WOW.
Betsy DeVosmis reminds me of Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter's Ministry Of Magic
Will see but if anything, sacrificial lamb. Devos is terrible, and I don't want her anywhere near the school system . However, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Trump is using her as a 'win' for the rest of us so the other scary nominees can move forward. They never wanted Devos in this position.

I consider myself a religious person, and I'm 100% in favor of a secular public education system. If you want to teach religion to your kids, do it in your house, not our classrooms.
She'll be confirmed. Get over it. Move on.
SIoyvenheaven1 get over yourself- you're both legends in your own minds!
Douchbag's say what?
SIoyvenheaven1 that's true, these hearings are show trials , its a shame , the bitch needs to go
Right....she needs to go and be the next Education Secretary so we can fix these failing public schools libtards created.
A difficult decision? How was it difficult?
So if the voucher program was enacted and they got rid of all public schools, would that mean that if you have a disability or cannot afford to go to school and there was no way to be able to do homeschooling that you would either be forced to pay anyway or not be able to go to school so only the wealthy kids get an education?

This entire election cycle and result is so disappointing
Idk I'm enjoying it.
When you can't physically beat your opposition into submission, you dissolve their resources, once desperation sets in, they are much more malleable.
Create in fighting, to combat the opposition from within.
Easy peasy, humans react more often than think.
Rand Paul voted, correctly, against Pompeo.
I think its time to unsubscribe. I'm very disappointed with this channel for the past few months. Failing to report on real news, turning alt left and keeping some very important information from subscribers. All I had to do was some research to see it.
Mary James It's easy to do, just hit the button. Just find something else, i'm staying right here. And this video is as honest as it can be, Devos is a terrible pick even for republicans.
Mary James It's alt left to disapprove of DeVos? lol okay. Go do what you gotta do
Mary James Bye, no need to make an announcement.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. We don't want ass prints on our door.
Mary James I hear you girl! I might have to do the same. it's getting out of control!
These two women have more balls (and spine) than the rest of their Republican colleagues.
We turned her husband down when he tried to run for Governor of Michigan. Now it's time to send Betsy back home.
Are all Senators 120 years old? Can we have term limits?
Enough with the failing public schools! Privatize the education system and maybe we will finally see some results!
This is so ignorant, it cannot be real!
LOL! Nice Background. Lauryn Hill would be smiling.....
It is also a slippery slope when schools take public money and pick and choose who they serve in the form of charter schools! Descrimination and segregation will likely become serious problems.Betsy Devoss is clueless about Educational law and testing! She should in NO WAY be allowed in this position!
What if it was a ploy? They tag teamed and were like "we wanna get paid off, lets just say we will oppose devos and theyll clamor to pay us". I mean, is that totally out of the realm of possibility? Idk
Devos also has ties to Student Loan debt collection. Another conflict of interest cabinet pick. Brilliant Trump! He's like a (not) smart person.
Why did these republicans vote against Devos?
Devos is severely unqualified.
They stated it in the intro - because De Vos is wildly under qualified, has no experience and has no clue about a number of issues within education. She was nominated by Trump because her family donated hundreds of millions to the Republican party, and the corruption was so obvious that a few republicans could actually see it.
Busterpeek21 : If you don't understand why, you're probably one of the students at one of her religious schools I guess...
because their kids are still in school
Because anyone who graduated from a public school is more qualified
Wasn't sen. susan collins on the committee hearing for deVos?... why didn't she just vote against her then.
This seems like a purely symbolic gesture and I see very unlikely to for a 3rd republican to come out and stop the Pence tie-breaker vote.
oh and sorry
So proud Of Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski!!!!!!!
DeVos is basically the real life Church Lady. SNL should just offer her more money to take over from Dana Carvey.
I suspect that Republicans felt so guilty at the thought of having to approve so many really bad Trump appointments that they felt forced to reject to at least one of them and these two ladies drew the short straws.
lol Drumpf set her up to fall flat on her face. What a meanie he is.
Well it won't matter.
I'm getting serious deja vu. I've seen these remarks about Donald Trump retaliating against those that break party lines before, in those exact words, that exact tonality, by the same person, like a month ago. Somebody please tell me I'm not going mad.
Either that or I can see into the future. In which case, right now I'm drawing a blank.
is Betsy Devos, the sister of Erik Prince, founder of the mercenary group Black Water?!?
DeVos! Lately, I have witnessed several, many, videos pulled from Google YT.
The last one, a documentary about Afghanistan and the Blackwater corporation. Blackwater employs about 20,000 mercenaries mostly from England who are paid 7500 US a month to find and kill opposition there. According to US Vets, To protect the opium drug trade.

I complained about the brutality and someone responded that it was just a Muslim who cares!
Does anyone see a problem with this picture?????????????
The only public education should be football and military!
