Celebs Freak Over DeVos Confirmation: ‘They Declared War on Our Children’

I have a Niece that graduated from a private school and I was surprised to see the large number of H.S. students that graduated with High Honers Obama shut down Charter Schools right after he was elected.and why? Maybe because of the Teachers Unions?  I like to see the kids have a choice for education

Hollywood A-listers rushed to social media Tuesday to bash Betsy DeVos and Republican lawmakers after the U.S. Senate voted to confirm her nomination as education secretary.

Last November, President Donald Trump picked DeVos to head the Department of Education. The 59-year-old businesswoman has survived a concerted effort to stop her nomination, with Vice President Mike Pence casting a historic deciding vote cementing her confirmation.

Among the celebrities denouncing DeVos was Avengers director Joss Whedon, who called her successful confirmation a sign that Congressional Republicans have “declared war on our children.”

Below is a summary of some of the reaction to DeVos from Hollywood’s leftwing stars.

Rejecting DeVos was the GOP's easiest way to say "Mr Prez, let's take this slow, we got 4 yrs". Instead they declared war on our children.

The Senate Republicans have just sent a big FU to the school children of America. Even the worst countries don't shit on their own kids.

Betsy DeVos confirmed. What is also confirmed is that there is not one single man of courage in the Republican Congress.

By the way, DeVos is 100% courtesy of Mike Pence. You think Trump gives a shit about charter schools?

Betsy Devos got confirmed. Everyone who voted for her should be ashamed. Party before country. They're using children's education as pawns.

The DeVos pledge: If your senator voted YES, you pledge to vote AGAINST them in the next election and to donate to their opponent. Please RT

I wouldn't trust Betsy Devos with my dry cleaning. This is a very sad day. The @GOP are such money grubbing cowards. Shameful.
