5. Biden put money in department of education...this woman is an idiot

Without the recovery acts that specifically slated billions of dollars to schools there would have been massive layoffs.

Oklahoma used federal funds to hire thousands of teachers, primarily in lower grades, to try to level opportunity gaps and get as many kids as possible to read at grade level.

This woman criticizing the Biden administration is likely sour grapes because she was talked to about for the secretary of education job and not given it.

She has an axe to grind against Joe.

Funny how when the department of education was filing amicus briefs that supported her, she wasn't critical.
