More than one million public education supporters across the country have contacted their senators urging a No Vote on DeVos. Chief complaints lodged against the DeVos nomination include her longstanding record and political donations aimed at privatizing public education, her complete lack of experience in any kind of public education role, and her Senate testimony in which she displayed no knowledge of basic education policies and civil rights laws.
