Selecting an Educator as Secretary of Education? Seriously?
Is this real? Is it possible that we’ll have an actual educator serving as the United States Secretary of Education?
Yes, Biden had said he would choose someone who taught in public schools for this post, but it’s hard to believe he actually followed through and chose Dr. Miguel Cardona, who began his career as an elementary school teacher and then served as a school principal for 10 years.
We were just getting used to a billionaire mega-donor who had no experience with education whatsoever, certainly none with public schools, one who spent the last four years doing everything in her power to ensure that American children received the lousiest education possible, thus making certain that the next generation is that much less prepared to compete in the global economy.
Seems impossible.
