Another great suggestion for Trump's cabinet!

Trump considers top charter school advocate for cabinet position 

New York Post By Daniel Halper and Marisa Schultz November 16, 2016 

New York City’s energetic charter school executive, Eva Moskowitz, met Wednesday with Donald Trump, as the president-elect moves to fill high-level government positions that include secretary of education.
Moskowitz is considered one of the contenders to oversee the nation’s schools.
Others include former DC Public Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee, Rep. Luke Messer (R-Indiana) and former Indiana schools chief Tony Bennett.
Trump is a supporter of school choice and has proposed a $20 billion block grant for states to provide more choices to 11 million students living in poverty.
Rudy Giuliani, a senior Trump adviser, predicted over the weekend that the president-elect would be “the best thing that ever happened for school choice and the charter school movement.”
(Eva Moskowitz is a very intelligent and forceful advocate for charter schools and children getting an education. She has no use for the teachers unions or the politically correct bullshit you get from the education establishment. She would be the perfect person to oversee the dismantling of  the education department and the turning over of funds to the states to use for vouchers to gut the teachers unions and the rat hole of public education. This is going to make the media lose it's shit because of her record. Plus how could Trump appoint this Jewish Lady when he is such an anti-semite. Didn't Steve Bannon guarantee that no Jews will be in the administration?)

Law profs and deans overpaid?


"In response to a question about what’s driving the costs of legal education, Syverud said that the focus on particular types of classes or faculty is a "red herring." "The painful truth is that the problem with costs is that law professors and deans are paid too much relative to the amount of work they do," he said. "The whole problem of costs would go away tomorrow if our salaries were halved.""
