Now I would assume to say, the majority of us in this class have a fair chance of one day parenting a child, whether it's on purpose or slightly surprising. I would also assume some of us don't want to live in the country right now due to the new man in the White House, so why on earth would we want to raise our potential children here now,especially after injustice just happened no more than 72 hours ago. On February 7th, Betsy DeVos was voted the United States Secretary of Education, leaving many of us including The Atlantic's article "5 Things to KnowAbout Betsy DeVos, Trump's pick for Education secretary"biting our nails. In this article, author Emily Deruy tells why we truly should be concerned about what's going to happen to our already seemly failing education system now that a woman of no political background, has never had a student loan, and who has never even went to a public school, in charge of schooling itself. Oh, and that's not to mention her goals of prioritizing charter schools, making public schools even more underfunded and eventually forcing our children to attend said charter schools. So yes classmates, this is probably one of those rare articles thats actually worth wasting your time on.
