Betsy DeVos
private school attendee
you have now been appointed
Donald Trump's Secretary of Education
with Vice President Mike Pence
giving the tiebreaking vote.
Lest you forget
in March of 2016
you called then-one-of-many-candidates Trump
an "interloper"
who "does not represent
the Republican party"
but not in a positive sense.
You have been selected
by our president
to be an interloper
and this poet asks
that in your crusade for school choice
you preserve the choice
that so many families have made
(and by the way
the basis
of your assigned role)
for free and public education.
And if you don't do so
they'll be happy
to educate you.
