Why are a lot of people against Betsy's appointment of Secretary of Education?

She seems to really want to lower the dropout rate. Kids getting crappy educations SHOULD get to attend somewhere else with vouchers.

I think people are just opposed to something different.

Lots of people "should have done their homework" in education--we cannot pretend we're in a good place. We are not. Condemn her after she's failed. No one has been concerned for decades, by looking at literacy rates.
