DeVos to meet with students, teachers at site of Fla. school shooting

sure would like to be a fly on the wall


Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is visiting the high school in Parkland, Fla., where 17 people were killed in February.

DeVos will travel to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Wednesday to “connect with students and teachers in the wake of the tragic shooting,” according to a statement shared by a Los Angeles Times reporter on Tuesday.

Her visit will be closed to the press.

The school shooting has reignited a national conversation about gun violence, spearheaded by many of the survivors of the shooting.

Stoneman Douglas students have been outspoken about their desire for gun reform and have specifically targeted the National Rifle Association and Republican politicians backed by the gun group.

The “March for Our Lives” rally against gun violence is scheduled for March 24 and will be held in Washington, D.C., and a number of other cities.

had not yet been used on them but had successfully silenced the parents of America on guns for decades. Nothing NRA/GOP will sink in. The kids are traumatized and looking for a safer world. She will be rejected.

The student body should send her a letter. Either the press (and our families) can be here, or you can be here by yourself, and faculty, staff and students should just take the damn day off.

She's the most vile of this misadministrations appointments, in my opinion, because she thinks her job is to convert these kids EDUCATION into a Ponzi Scheme.

I'll admit a bias. I know how hard it is to pay for my own collegiate experience and she can fuck right off with her vampire self.

First this NRA vampire loves the blood and now she wants to wallow in the very grief her authoritarian bloodlust has created. Devos and her scum are an infectious social disease.
