Please, President-Elect Biden, pick a Sec. of Education who doesn't want to privatize schools!

Arne Duncan was horrible. Too much testing. Too much emphasis on charter schools.

Betsy Devos wanted to privatize everything.

No Democrats for Education Reform.

Pick someone with actual public school experience!!!

and I'll do it again.

Please consider Lily Eskelson Garcia.

She was an educator, president of the Utah Ed. Assoc, & currently president of the National Ed. Assoc.

She's brilliant & very well liked & admired in the education society.
