Elizabeth Warren should vote for Mrs. Devos. They both support school choice and vouchers.

In "The Two Income Trap" Senator Warren wrote, “With fully funded vouchers, parents of all income levels could send their children — and the accompanying financial support — to the schools of their choice.”

“An all-voucher or all-school choice system would be a shock to the educational system, but the shake out might be just what the system needs,” she writes. Over time, “the whole concept of ‘the Beverly Hills schools’ or ‘Newton schools’ would die out.”

It sounds like she perfectly understands what Mrs. Devos advocates and thinks it's a good thing.

Why do we even have a federal department of education?

The feds run no schools, they teach no students.

Why should the feds have any say at all in what is taught or done inside our local schools?

How does this demonstrate "tenacity?" All it shows is that, for the first time in history, a candidate was deemed so unqualified that even with the majority control of the Senate, members of her own party voted against her, so the VP had to intervene.
