Donald Trump can secure the gratitude of millions of parents across the nation if he fulfill his promise on education. Michelle Rhee is not the person to get that done.
Here is an excerpt from Joy Pullmann's article at the Federalist "Michelle Rhee Would Be A Terrible Choice For Education Secretary".
Please sign on to a letter asking President Elect Donald Trump to pick an Education Secretary who will stop common core and put parents and teachers back in control of their children education HERE.
Rhee, ... doesn’t fit Trump at all. For one, she’s highly skeptical of school choice. She strongly supports charter schools, a good but highly managed government alternative to traditional public schools, and prominently reversed her opposition to vouchers in 2013. Yet she still supports a highly regulated version of vouchers driven by applying the tests to them that public schools use, which undercuts their very premise. We don’t want to use vouchers to mold private schools into the public schools whose failure justifies vouchers in the first place, but to provide diversity of parent choice in education. That requires light regulation.
