Almost as soon as Vice President Mike Pence cast the historic vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as the new education secretary, teachers unions predicted doom for the schoolchildren of America. "If she wants to work with the educators who work hard every single day - in districts as diverse as McDowell County, W.Va., Detroit, and Scarsdale, N.Y. - to provide children the opportunities they deserve, we renew our invitation to have her visit America's public schools and see the strategies that work for kids," Randi Weingarten said in a statement after the vote.
