Trump\u2019s pick for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, was instrumental in passing the law that set the stage for the Flint water crisis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Flint, Michigan <\/span>still<\/span><\/a> does not have clean drinking water. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now, President-elect Donald Trump \u2014 whose campaign stump speech included a <\/span>crude joke<\/span><\/a> about the city\u2019s water crisis \u2014 has tapped one of the people responsible for the crisis to join his Cabinet. <\/span><\/p>\n

Betsy DeVos, Trump\u2019s pick for Secretary of Education, and her family have a long history of using their wealth to manipulate Michigan state elections and push through \u201creforms\u201d that undercut local democracy. She\u2019s a staunch advocate of privatization measures that shift power from people to corporations \u2014 and one of those measures led directly to the poisoning of Flint\u2019s water and citizens. <\/span><\/p>\n

Betsy DeVos and the Law That Poisoned Flint<\/h2>\n

In trying to get to the root of the crisis in Flint, many have pointed to Michigan\u2019s <\/span>emergency manager law<\/span><\/a>, which allows the governor to bypass the elected government and appoint a single official to take over a city\u2019s budgeting. The law was actually overturned by a popular referendum in 2012, but sneakily pushed back through state legislature by Governor Rick Snyder immediately afterwards in a way that prevented it from being subject to another public vote. <\/span><\/p>\n

And when Michigan voters said they didn\u2019t want their local democracies hijacked, they had good reason. It was Flint\u2019s emergency financial manager Darnell Earley who all but forced the city to switch its water source to the polluted Flint River. <\/span><\/p>\n

Earley both overruled a city council vote that would have prevented the switch and declined an offer from neighboring Detroit to provide safe, sanitized water. But if Earley is responsible for the disastrous decision itself, those who paved his way to power are also to blame \u2014 and that\u2019s where Betsy DeVos comes in. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since the 1970s, the DeVos family has invested at least $200 million in far-right think tanks, media outlets, PACs, and other causes, with a particular focus on their home state of Michigan. Along with the <\/span>Koch brothers<\/span><\/a>, they\u2019re <\/span>major funders of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy<\/span><\/a>, a Michigan-based partner of the Heritage Foundation and architect of the state\u2019s emergency manager law. Between 1998 and 2011, four DeVos-controlled foundations have given $560,000 to the Mackinac Center; that figure doesn\u2019t include donations from personal trusts or corporations, which do not have to be reported. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the Mackinac Center working to craft the legislation that would advance the DeVos\u2019 privatization agenda, they needed a governor who would push it through to law. So in 2010, the family spent $1.9 million in the election that put Governor Snyder in power. <\/span><\/p>\n

Months later, Snyder signed the emergency manager act into law and appointed a Mackinac executive as the state\u2019s first emergency manager. That manager\u2019s first move? Outsource the city of Pontiac\u2019s water system to a company indicted on federal conspiracy charges and Clean Water Act violations. <\/span><\/p>\n

The writing was on the wall for Flint. <\/span><\/p>\n

Betsy DeVos and the Trump Administration<\/h2>\n

The results of the type of pro-corporate, anti-democratic measures DeVos stands for are clear. We\u2019ve seen what happens when politicians abuse their power to wrest democracy from the hands of the people \u2014 and it\u2019s still unfolding in Flint.<\/span><\/p>\n

With DeVos as Secretary of Education, we could see the same happen to public schools. DeVos has long maneuvered to strip funding and resources from public schools, favoring instead a <\/span>voucher system<\/span><\/a> that diverts public funding to private and religious schools. Among many other consequences, that could have grave implications for <\/span>science and climate change education<\/span><\/a> in schools across the country. <\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, selecting DeVos \u2014 a Koch-esque member of the billionaire GOP donor class \u2014 runs directly counter to Trump\u2019s campaign promise to reform Washington by \u201cdraining the swamp\u201d of establishment Republicans. <\/span><\/p>\n

As far as Flint goes, Trump blamed the whole fiasco on \u201c<\/span>incompetent politicians<\/span><\/a>\u201d in a speech earlier this month. By his own measure, it looks like he just nominated one for his Cabinet. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
