Analysis: Let’s fact-check this Betsy DeVos tweet about Trump’s $5 billion school tax credit proposal

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos testified last week on Capitol Hill about the Trump administration's proposed budget for her agency. By Valerie Strauss Valerie Strauss Reporter covering education, foreign affairs Email Bio Follow April 5 at 6:00 AM Despite what some may try to tell you . . . Education Freedom Scholarships are privately funded and do not take any money from public schools.

The donations, which would receive a 100 percent tax credit, could go for other education-related purposes — all aimed at expanding what DeVos now calls “education freedom” but used to more frequently refer to as “school choice."

For one thing, any diminution of federal revenue could affect public school funding. For another, using taxpayer money to help students leave traditional school districts reduces per-pupil funding that districts rely on.

BetsyDeVosED Wants all kids tortured and brainwashed in religious schools.

I’ll believe a fact-check, when I believe the earth is flat

Lets fact check the WP. Uh oh!

She’s a goddamn liar. Bet it’s only for private schools. Bet she knows that after her idiotic claim that students do better when class sizes are bigger, she’ll have to hire more teachers because now class sizes will shrink. Thanks DevNOS. Lol

The truth is revealed. The sun does not stay underneath the cloud.

Ok, now do AOC.

Why bother? First, one can assume it's all/mostly lies without expending the time & effort. Second, pointing such things out to this Administration is about as effective as King Canute commanding the tide to stop - of course, that was to prove his humility and here, not so much

NH has done something like this in a state level. $ comes right out of local schools funding. Worse, unlike public schools, charters are poorly regulated. Bad idea.

Why bother? Why not just say “Betsy Devos lies about everything, all the time. She has no idea what she is doing and should be removed.”

Excellent read she is ruining public education.

, fact-check thyself.

She is incompetent.

Well we all see how well the public school education sustenance works after years and trillions of funding. We need something new.

How come you never fact check AOC?

No doubt of this gal's focus. I do research, but her out loud and proud behavior says it all.

Fact Check from the 'New York Sime'? No thanks, we don't Trust the 'New York Slime'. The Lefts Propaganda outlet, Anti-American and Anti-American Truth and Deciency.

Ooooh ooooh...can I guess? She lied. Like a lot.

MAGA !!
