WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n antes de la votaci\u00f3n final del Senado de los Estados Unidos sobre la candidata a Secretaria de Educaci\u00f3n, Betsy DeVos:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cConozco de primera mano la poderosa diferencia que hace una buena educaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica. Cuando era ni\u00f1o, mi padre me llev\u00f3 a las puertas de la escuela y me dijo que, aqu\u00ed en Estados Unidos, si cruzaba esas puertas y trabajaba duro, pod\u00eda hacer casi cualquier cosa. El hecho de que, como hijo de un mec\u00e1nico, pudiera ir a la escuela y creer que tendr\u00eda aproximadamente las mismas oportunidades que el hijo de un director ejecutivo lo dice todo sobre la importancia de nuestro sistema de educaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica y lo central que es qui\u00e9nes somos como naci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDesafortunadamente, Betsy DeVos carece por completo de conocimiento, experiencia o apreciaci\u00f3n de los roles cr\u00edticos que desempe\u00f1an las escuelas p\u00fablicas en Estados Unidos. Ella nunca ha asistido a una escuela p\u00fablica; ella nunca ha trabajado en escuelas p\u00fablicas; no envi\u00f3 a sus hijos a escuelas p\u00fablicas; No s\u00e9 si alguna vez fue voluntaria en una escuela p\u00fablica. Su ignorancia sobre las escuelas p\u00fablicas qued\u00f3 de manifiesto espectacularmente en su audiencia de nominaci\u00f3n. Ella no sab\u00eda que la ley federal exige que las escuelas p\u00fablicas brinden igualdad de oportunidades a los estudiantes con discapacidades. No sab\u00eda c\u00f3mo se utilizaban las pruebas para medir el crecimiento o la competencia. Y, adem\u00e1s, ha mantenido un desprecio absoluto por la rendici\u00f3n de cuentas en las escuelas privadas, a pesar del p\u00e9simo historial de muchas escuelas privadas en su estado natal de Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVotar\u00e9 en contra de Betsy DeVos como Secretaria de Educaci\u00f3n porque Estados Unidos necesita una Secretaria que luche para mejorar las escuelas p\u00fablicas, no una Secretaria dedicada a destruirlas\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
