    No student in America should ever be denied the equal opportunity to a great education. Our efforts are not rooted in a partisan ideology or designed to benefit any one group. They are focused on the students, parents and teachers I meet each week – and millions more like them.pic.twitter.com/0eH2Mb6JgR

        No student should ever fear or even be thinking about being murdered at school.

        I had to fight for 2 1/2 of my daughters four years in high school to get her http://approved.It  is inexcusable what we went through....you were in charge of public schools in Michigan...why should anyone be surprised...she was on the honor roll that last 1 1/2 years.

        Do you meet with parents of public school students or just private schools?

        And yet you also argue that Public Schools should directly violate our laws and Constitution. Your recent ICE comments https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/22/undocumented-children-schools-devos-immigration-603277 … are in direct conflict with Plyler v. Doe (1982) and push to punish children.

        And your recent other statements "supporting equity" run completely contrary to your non-equitable/accountability policies and what you actually advocate for. For reference, let's take a look at your interview with @timkaine again.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoS9Z6p_EM8 …

        Do you understand what equity means and that accommodations aren’t special treatment, because it doesn’t seem that way.

        No child should go to school afraid that today he'll die in a school shooting. STILL no statement from you about yesterday's school shooting. Nothing said about the hero teacher who took 3 bullets to save his students. You are beyond a horrible person. #Resign #Now

        Yes, but your push on voucher programs does nothing to fix the problem with our education system, it just dumps more money in private schools while taking it away from public schools that need it. You're literally making it worse with your reverse Robin Hood scheme, not better.

        Those words “No student in America should ever be denied the equal opportunity to a great education” would sound more genuine and sincere if they weren’t coming from you. #DrainTheSwamp

        Betty, you refuse to respond to the good people of EHartford. You spoke poorly about their school district, offending the hard working teachers, parents and students. They know how to educate a diverse population with success. You must have confused it with Detroit
