Harvey letter: DeVos confirmation

Our senators voted to confirm an incompetent Betsy DeVos for secretary of education. They have confirmed a person who has no idea how public education functions. Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch have sold out the children of Idaho and the rest of the United States. When will they vote for a better America and not blindly vote party lines? They had a chance to Keep America Great and they failed us. SHAME on them.
