So, she did it. Mike Pence broke a 50-50 tie with his vote to make Betsy DeVos the United States Secretary of Education. Criticism from Democrats focused on her being a big donor to the Republican party and just being overall unqualified for the position. Here's AL Franken comment: https://www.franken.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=3615
Senator AL Franken, at her hearing, asked her what her position was on growth vs. proficiency, and she fumbled through her answer. Clearly she wasn't caught up on the topic. Even though...

At the bottom of the mission statement of the organization ExcelinEd, where she was chairmen, there's a link "Our Approach", which shows them outlining the problem of the American education system by citing stats of 4th grade reading levels not being proficient. Which would suggest she should be a little familiar with the issue. It also suggests her organization is for proficiency testing, but maybe that's just the only available information they have to go on.
Me, I'm not clear on what would be a better approach, but testing for growth of an individual kid sure sounds a hell of a lot better on paper. Is it practical? Is it beneficial enough to justify providing the man hours?

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
