The poster said something about growing up and later putting on a uniform to protect from enemies, did he not?
Actually; when taking the "enemy" thing into consideration and the last time any uniforms were worn 'protecting' from an "actual" declared enemy being WWII, I'd guess the poster would have grown up when a whole demographic of America's population needed protection from other Americans.
"Not the America he grew up in" is just about the stupidest thing he could have said in context with presidential assassinations and other events like Kent State, Rodney King LA riots, Oklahoma Murrah building bombing.....the current BLM movement's raison-de-etre .........................get real.
It's utter nonsense to suggest growing up during a time when it was never necessary. It might not be the sixties but people needing protection from other citizens has always been and continues to be necessary in America to this very day.
The lady is not wanted. And this is how it will continue. She herself does not even believe in the school system, teachers want her gone!
From her comments, seems she is there to privatize the schools. Period
Do you blame her? Given the left's intolerance and history of violence against those that don't blindly agree and follow along with their emotional tantrums, it's little wonder that the need for protection exists. Even moreso when you are dealing with violent, long entitled union leadership and members. It's time to put kids first and stop using our educational industry as a handout to Democrat donor groups.
This is what liberals have turned this country into. Our public officials have to be guarded against our own citizens. This is not the country I grew up in and put on a uniform to protect against our enemies. The enemy is among us now.
So true! Other elected officials are never provided security and they are never assassinated.
Drew J. Wade, a spokesman for the service, told the magazine that he is not aware of these agents guarding an education secretary in the past. The education secretary is traditionally guarded by a small security unit from the education department, the report said.
It makes me very angry that the Left has devolved into a group of lawless thugs and, because they are no longer in control, have resorted to threatening the physical safety of our public officials.

She is there to take back the schools from the unions and to stop the nonsense of Common Core.....she supports the public schools, yet most of you don't even know her background.
Ranking education spending as a percentage of GDP is a handy way of making the US appear to fall behind, but it's a nonsensical approach.
The US accounts for 20% of the world's GDP and only 5% of the world's population.
The problem is, I feel, the federal DOE itself and its endless need for new country-wide educational programs. Eliminate the federal DOE along with its programs; every state has a state DOE, which is staffed by educated, trained, and licensed people.
Hopefully those who threaten DeVos will fuel the call to shut the whole department down.
It never should have been formed.

You think the US GDP would be that high if public education didn't exist?

Can you tell me exactly what you find wrong with Common Core?
