FEATURING MIRIAM ROLLIN – President elect Joe Biden will be entering office as the husband of an educator and former public-school teacher. After 4 years of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s policies, how can Biden reverse the legacy of the pro-Trump’s rightwing ideologue?
Schools have been deeply impacted during the coronavirus pandemic and some 1 million children have been infected. Not only has the virus exposed existing inequities in our education system, it has also gutted state funding sources for education. The challenges that Biden faces on education are indeed quite steep.
