In The Midst Of Worrying About The Consequences Our Economy,

In the midst of worrying about the consequences our economy, women, and humanity may face if Donald Trump were to become President, a critical topic that this country has used for decades to hinder particular demographic groups received less attention. That topic is education, the reason it is now a major issue and has entered the conversation of various social groups is because President Donald Trump and the Senate has entrusted the crucial role of secretary of Education to Betsy DuVos, a millionaire from Michigan.

Charter schools are public schools that are controlled independently making them like private schools. For instance, in Michigan where DeVos played a major role in the charter schools program, for-profit companies run the charters schools and she donated $1 million to lawmakers that helped oppose new oversight of charters (Carey, 2016). Charter schools receive their funding based on their test scores so they do not seek out students that may hinder their scores, like students with disabilities, so these kids may be ignored or taken out of charter schools (Ravitch, 2014, p.160). Consequently, this acts as a loophole to disability discrimination that must be fixed. 3. Popular media,Show MoreRelatedYour Country Is in a Recession.
