Democrat Warren says she would pick a public school teacher for education post

LOS ANGELES - Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren pledged on Monday that if she wins the White House in 2020, her education secretary will be “a former public school teacher who is committed to public education.”

In remarks Warren planned to deliver to a teachers union in Philadelphia, the U.S. senator from Massachusetts described Republican president Donald Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, as “the worst secretary of education we’ve seen.” DeVos is a reviled figure among many Democrats and teachers unions. She is a proponent of school vouchers, school choice and charter schools, options critics see as undermining public education. DeVos, who has no teaching experience, has also eased regulations on for-profit colleges.“Let’s get a person with real teaching experience,” Warren said in an email ahead of the town hall. “A person who understands how low pay, tattered textbooks, and crumbling classrooms hurt students and educators.

Worst idea ever. Angry teacher runs things🤦🏽‍♂️

Discrimination against other teachers

All the Republicans dissing her for this know damn well that our current Ed Sec. has no background in education. But that is OK because she is rich? Fucking Republicans are destroying the USA

I got advice for that public school teacher don't quit your day job

That will not work. Public school teacher know nothing about administration. Warren is such a dumb clown.

As opposed to an experienced leader of people? Smart! Like pulling an Uber driver to be Uber's CEO.

A potential improvement over the current appointee.

I just hope ewarren picks a teacher who is also a woman of color, like herself.

Someone who's never run a business: 'Make a low level employee the CEO! That'll straighten things out!'

But will a teacher have enough yachts?

Weird. I've heard public school teachers hardly make any money and thus, are most likely not incredibly wealthy. Why?

What’s wrong with Betsy DeVos? She’s so supportive of public schools and education. I wish she were my teacher!
