https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/salvadorhernandez/coronavirus-quarantine-protests-facebook-groups...Organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition and the Michigan Freedom Fund, the protest has drawn criticism over its links to Betsy DeVos's family.
"I think it's really inappropriate for a sitting member of the United States president's cabinet to be waging political attacks on any governor," Whitmer said, referring to the education secretary.
The Michigan Freedom Fund was founded by Greg McNeilly, a political adviser to the DeVos family, who has provided financial support to the organization.
Seely said the DeVos family has played no role in the protests and that the Michigan Freedom Fund was independent of the DeVos family, calling the attack a deflection from Whitmer....

(18,714 posts)Close public schools and send students to non-union charter schools through grants. Then when schools become underfunded, understaffed, or closed, end the subsidies. That forces citizens to consider passing new levies to reopen, thus shifting the cost away from the Feds and to homeowners.
A good chunk of union dues go to democrats for obvious reasons, so it's win/win for conservatives. Everyone will get the best education their social standing can afford. People like DeVos hate paying for your kid's education.

(410 posts)You can not control a population that is
1) educated [deVos]
2) healthy [CV-19]
3) well funded [remove the unions]
4) well feed [now allowing toxins back in our food and homes - perflourates]
Remove any one of the 4 and you control that population.
So think about these 4 statements and the current administration
