“I’ll just be blunt: Betsy DeVos is the worst Secretary of Education we’ve seen,” the campaign email read, while promising to nominate an education secretary with “real teaching experience.'
The U.S. senator and Democratic presidential candidate called DeVos the “worst secretary of education we’ve seen” in an email to supporters Monday, and she vowed as president to nominate a former public school teacher “who is committed to public education.”
The Massachusetts progressive promised that, if elected president, she would put forth a nominee with “real teaching experience,” someone who “understands how low pay, tattered textbooks and crumbling classrooms hurt students and educators” and understands “the crushing burden of student debt on students and young professionals.”
Warren’s announcement and series of lambasting remarks on the education secretary came hours before a campaign stop with the American Federation of Teachers’ president in Pennsylvania, a union with some 1.7 million members. But with her plan comes a 10-year $1.25 trillion price tag, according to her campaign, which said it would pay for the costs by instituting an"Ultra-Millionaire Tax." This would impose a two percent annual tax increase on 75,000 American families"with fortunes of $50 million or more."
