Not So Special?

To paraphrase one of the sources for this post, the recently-announced budget for the U. S. Department of Education looks more like a road-map for crony capitalism.

Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education under Donald Trump, was at one time a promoter of charter schools, and an advocate of education-for-profit.  But now she's outdone even her most crony-capitalistic stances.  Under her direction (and possibly at the insistence of the scrooge-in-Chief), yesterday DeVos proposed completely eliminating, from her Department's budget, every penny that has gone to support the Special Olympics.
