Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich, and Grace Baldridge, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. tytnetwork.com...

"The video of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos confirming that she would allow private schools to receive federal dollars while they blatantly discriminate against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students is simply stunning. Congresswoman Katherine M. Clark, a Democrat from Massachusetts, asked DeVos point blank in a hearing yesterday if she would allow federal funds to go to a school that bans LGBT students or students with gay or lesbian parents, and she used the Lighthouse Christian Academy in Indiana as an example.
DeVos, in an eerily calm manner, said that it would be up to the states to make the decision to allow “parents to make choices” when it comes to putting their kids in a a hostile anti-LGBTQ environment, where lies and distortions that lead to bullying and violence are taught to children about queer people, while receiving federal money in the form of vouchers.”*

Young Turk (n), 1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party. 2. A young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.(American Heritage Dictionary)
This whole Trump era is like a bad mushroom trip.
Discrimination is synonymous with "Republican Values"
Why can't DeVos be found dead, after having choked to death on several live voles?
Actually, that's how I imagined Kellyanne Conway going out. Trying to relive her glory days back in her college sorority....
No, the idea of DeVos interacting with another human being's genitalia is just.... ugh. (*shudder*)
I'll never understand how poor people can be conservative. How can a poor person, or even a lower middle class person, think to themselves, "We need to keep things this way. We need to conserve this."?
That makes me wonder if that's the desired effect of defunding education
+TurdFurgeson571 Of course it is. Ignorant people are easy to manipulate. Why would you want to educate people if that means they won't vote for you anymore?
Tax payer money shouldn't go to private nothing
No Federal money for any *private* schools, and mandatory closure of *any* school that discriminates.
Does that include all girls schools?
Jason R
Any school that discriminates, here's the laws eeoc.gov
I'm disheartened for the brown and black children growing up under this administration
Yup, these Republicans always want to privatize everything. They only see dollar signs $$$$$, it's sickening
lol why? Still waiting on TYT to report on the blacks who took over classes saying they don't want white people in their classes or on their campus. Also Blacks saying they want groups only for people of color. So I don't feel sorry for these bitches. Hope trump puts all out money into schools for whites.
Alex Ray I think you're in the wrong place......Stromfront is that wayyyyyyy>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Secretary DeVos, it is my understanding, that you don´t have a clue what you´re
doing, nor what you´re talking about. Would you agree to that?"-"I am
very grateful for you asking that question. In fact I think people in
office should absolutely have a clue about what they´re doing and what
they´re talking about."-"Secretary DeVos, that wasn´t my question. I
asked YOU if you have any clue what you´re doing and what you´re talking
about. Do you?"-"Again, I do think that people in office should have a
clue..."-"Sorry, I am talking about YOU. Do you have any clue, what your
job is and what we´re talking about right now, yes or no?"-"Again, I do
expect people in office to understand what they´re doing..."
I think public schools are the only schools that should be funded by the state. I believe a private religious school has every right to teach what they want, but they shouldn't receive tax payers' money. They should be purely funded by tuition and donations.
Miranda Drake reading this 9 months after and it brought tears to my eyes. 😢😢 this is completely right. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I disagree. What is happening here is that parents get vouchers so that they can choose the school that is most appropriate for their children. And if that happens to be a religious school, I would be perfectly fine with that. After all, it is not up to the state to dictate you to which schools your children go, and I also think that freedom of choice should also be available for the poorest in the society. What Betsy DeVos actually proposes is remarkably similar to the Dutch education system, where every school gets equal funding, regardless of the background of the school. The system is accesible for everyone and parents can choose between different types of schools. In the USA this choice is not available for the poorest, they are stuck with a public school, which might teach values that completely contradict the values that the parents want to teach to their children.
I was hoping K. Clark would get a pair of boxing gloves and beat the shit out of B. Devos.
I thought private schools were funded by paying parents who wanted to send their children through private school. Why do they need federal funding? Please educate me. Thanks.
This doesn't even make sense. Private schools are "private" because they're NOT publicly-funded (aka government-funded). That's the definition of private vs public. The tuitions at some private schools are higher than putting someone through college... America seriously GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER invest in your education and stop voting against your best interests.
Sadly, there are tons of examples of private businesses that are fully funded by the government in situations you'd think they wouldn't be. We have publicly funded private prisons and publicly funded private military contractors.and it's not just in the US. People of all nationalities enjoy making money off governments.
Chad Austin Yes and it's just infuriating ... I'm Canadian don't even get me started on gov't funded "non-profits"... As the leader of the free world would say... SAD.
Careful. He might sue you for copyright infringement.
lol
Betsy don't know what she's doing! Thanks to trump voters
She knows EXACTLY what she is doing : bringing money to private companies, and ignorance to the children.
I went to private school my entire life. Kindergarten through Undergrad. Trust me, they're fine. They have moreeeeee than enough money.
The last name ' de Vos' (Dutch) means ' the fox'. Which is ironic, since foxes are known for their intelligence. This lady..well, she is not.
There is a push by some for fox hunting to come back in the UK. I've just thought of a way this would be acceptable to me.
Foxes aren't known for intelligence solely, but more a representative of cunning, mischief, and also deception. I think the name fits her distrustful nature.
I was sent to private school in till I was kicked out in seventh grade. As a transgender man I was tortured by students and teachers. Please do research before sending you kids to private school.
No wonder Scandinavian schooling is crushing American school outcomes.....
PROGRESSIVES AND DEMOCRATS WE HAVE 3 1/2 YRS TO GET OUT STUFF TOGETHER AND GET THESES FOOLS OUT OF OFFICE. GET TOGETHER PEOPLE.
Betsy DeVoid of A Soul.
I don't know if I've ever hated anyone more than I hate Betsy Devoss, I think she's going to cause so much harm that will have devastating effects for generations
when this administration is gone, none of them will have a political career. We'll have to undo all the damage they're doing, the heartless bastards
Why? By providing parents the choice as to where there children can go to school? I happen to think that it is a very progressive idea.
Ana and I must never meet because we would probably get into a shouting match about who is more upset about the state of education. You go Ana. Drives me insane too.
Religious need to get out of politics PERIOD.
Right, religious organization should stay out of politics or get taxed like other organizations.
yes
What makes people think the vouchers will cover the gap for all these private schools they THINK their children will attend? The voucher will be a finite amount. The wealthy will merely raise the tuition so only certain people can afford the gap between the voucher amount and tuition. Of course, those schools will have our tax dollars to create a further disparity. We will be giving more money to wealthy families. A private for-profit school with no universal standards will also benefit the wealthier companies that will certainly want to build schools for the rest of us.
i went to private school and i don't think federal money should go to private schools. if you're mad that you pay taxes but it doesn't go to the school you pay money for, then send your child to public school and problem solved. i went to a less-wealthy catholic high school and we had smart boards in every class room and every kid got laptops, no we didn't have as much as some of the other catholic high schools in st. louis, but we had more than most public schools. the catholic church is loaded and they give money to catholic grade schools in their diocese and give to some high schools that cost less tuition to make up for the lack of funding from the tuition. they're called archdiocesan schools and they're for people who want to send their kids to a catholic school but can't afford the full tuition. private schools are doing fine, at least the catholic ones are bc the catholic church will always back them up if they need more money. also private schools have wealthy people who send their kids there and often get millions in donations a year from the wealthy families, they also get money from alumni that have moved on and become wealthy. trust me, even the poorer private schools don't need government funding.
Privatized prisons failed miserably. Privatized water is a disgrace globally. Why would privatized education be any better?
El Deplorable coughtrumpcollegecough
El Deplorable, there's a big difference between private education and privatized education. I'm in favor of private education funded by individuals where competition produces better results. However, I'm opposed privatized education, meaning the government outsources education to corporations since it would just breed complacency and corruption. I'm opposed to the privatization of anything.
Sucks when money gets u jobs that u don't qualify for....
The boss Laos no way she's qualified she was qualified by the ultimate declassifier and he knows things he's like a smart person went to ivy league schools
Betsy DeVos clearly not a big fan of her father's book, "Compassionate Capitalism". Or maybe the whole family knew the book was a con from the start?
Private schools are private. They can discriminate on any basis they want: race, gender, religion, sexual orientation. It's fine if they do. However, if they do, they should not receive a dime in public money, state or federal period.
robert postman no they can't, I'm sorry but no
So... You are okay with all kind of disciminations, as long as it's not funded with your money ?
hotboy757 so long as they receive zero and I mean ZERO public funds at either the local or federal level, they are private institutions and can discriminate on whatever basis they want. You don't have to like it, but it's the truth. Private institutions can discriminate on whatever basis they want in their membership, not their employees. Country clubs have discriminated on race and religion before and I mean after 1968 when the equal rights laws had been passed. Private schools routinely deny students with certain disabilities because accommodating them would cost too much money. However, these schools also receive some public money, so they get sued. The sad fact is private institutions can set any standards for membership that they want.
no you cannot, and there is a reason why I know this. if you want to homeschool Your own kids there are guide lines you must follow.
just to say
Okay, so...if private schools are the answer, then model the public schools after the private schools, but keep them public. Uniforms, small class size, make art and music a part of the curriculum, technology, library and RECESS. Adopt the private school curriculum (minus religion) and drop testing. You can do this in public schools w/out having to redirect their funding to a private school. Also, expect the cost to be around $20K per student (preschool through grade 8) and $40K (high school), unless they have special needs of any kind...then double that amount.
Private schools are not always the answer. Just because they are private does not mean that they are better. There is no way to guarantee their quality.
Black people pay taxes too. Denying them services while taking their hard earned money is reverting back to the days of slavery. Otherwise don't tax them. Simple.
Betsy DeVos is the real life inspiration behind Dolores Umbridge (Harry Potter).
private schools should be privately funded
I don't understand, I thought private school literally meant that the school was funded purely by the tuition? That the point was that the children would be in a school held in completely different standards from the public schools and entirely separate.
Throw DeVos in jail. Immediately.
We need to be like Finland; no private schools, everyone is in public.
There was this smart fellow once who was a prominent figure in a massive conflict who said sometime quite important about the military industrial complex... Something about guarding against the acquisition of unwarranted influence?... hmmm, who was he again?... and I can't remember his function... darn it, I even forgot his country of origin... never mind I guess...
TO WAR!!
Not true. Home schooling is allowed in Finland.
Why does it still matter what your sexual orientation is?. I really thought that was a settled argument. It matters not to me what you do as far as your decisions as an adult and your sexual orientation. It is frankly none of my business. I know what my orientation is. And yours does not matter to me in the least.. It does me no harm. I could care less. It is your business. As mine is to me. But discrimination on sexual preferences does matter to me. It should matter to any right thinking individual. This is like a tempest in a teapot. Why are human beings so damn stupid should be the larger question.
I wonder what Betsy DeVos have to say when 75% of American kids can't go to school because either their parents can't afford private school or they aren't allowed to school because of who they are?
She won't say shit. Let's not pretend these people have consciences.
I'd say she'd ask you to cite your sources before making a claim like that. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
If I started a private school could I discriminate against christians?
I would, I want to open a school that only allow progressive atheists. Oh the anger it would get.
Tyson Runnels Most public schools already do that, I brought a bible and was told to hide it
Tyson Runnels Sure as long as you don't want federal funding.
Andy Fruth and that's not a bias when I can bring tattoos, Phones, laptops, MP3 players, fiction books, etc? In fact the bible is more influential in history for the past 1000 years if anything it's more applicable than Harry Potter.
to put DeVos in plain English... "I don't want to do my job but get paid by the American tax payers" Opening soon near you: The Betsy DeVos private school for your children's best chance to succeed in trump's America
Hank THE Patriot
That Vos is evil, and a crazy BITCH!!!
Betsy DeVos reminds me of the blonde woman that Richard Dawkins interviewed on religion and evolution years ago. Not answering and even avoiding the question, and always with that smug smile on her face.
I've seen that interview. The woman was so arrogant and so astonishingly ignorant. Richard Dawkins was too kind to her.
Justin M might as well be
can we sent betsy to North korea 😡😡😡😡😡
People talk about problems but don't do anything about it
Dominique Elliott 👏👏👏👏👏
Republican Administration :
For the poor = less education.
For the less needed = more $ for their education.
Ummm, how is this up to DeVos, isn't this the law currently that federal money can't go towards groups that discriminate.
If you want to send your kids to some private school, go ahead, but don't make me pay for it. Public schools funded by taxpayers need to uphold standards and teach things like science without compromising it with some private agenda.
Jayyy Zeee If your public school isn't in a affluent area, then private school is the way to go. Higher SAT scores, and higher prestigious college admissions.
Chow Chow, That's an argument for spending more on public education, and not subsidizing private schools. It doesn't justify diverting taxes away from already underfunded public schools into unregulated private schools, right?
Chow Chow Affluence does not equal better. Ever hear of affluenza? I work in public education and lower SES school districts are much more innovative at having to do more with less. Just because a child was not a "winner" in the ovarian lottery and happens to live in poverty does not mean he or she should have to leave their neighborhood school. Providing more tax dollars to these districts now will reduce future costs of drug treatment, mental health, and incarceration. DeVos and Trump are grossly shortsighted.
luvslagos I'll put it this way. If a parent, and it's usually a single woman. Sends their children to those horrible inner city schools, they should be charged with child endangerment. Go and UA-cam what goes on there. Unless your that much of a forgiving liberal. If so, send your children there.
Chow Chow What if it's all you can afford?
when u buy a position instead of earning it, you should expect to ridicule yourself when things gets serious
@Betsy
Private School (N):a school that does not get money from the government and that is run by a group of private individuals
Public School (N): system of free schools maintained by public taxes
For profit charter schools or private schools discriminate against students with disabilities using taxpayers money.
Nobody mentions that the vouchers don't even cover the entire tuition cost for the student in most cases.
Why dont ppl answer yes or no questions with a yes or a no?
Bullshit is inherently middle of the road.
Yes.
Because they think they're clever for fooling some people.
public schools are the answer. Nurture public education. Education is a resource that must be shared.
modelleg The main problem with public schools is that they are burdened with government mandates and rules that make the job of education secondary.
Christian sharia law
Derek Fisher What? Nobody's planting kids to make them think about their sexuality....that's foolish and conspiratorial thinking.
Ask a gay person when they realized they were gay, and they will probably tell you around 5. By the time they hit middle and high school, it's something they already know about themselves, and are ready to start exploring further.
Like their straight counterparts, they want to have a first kiss or first date....and yes they will probably have friends they open up to, that doesn't mean they're trying to turn anyone, or plant sexual seeds, they're just trying to figure themselves out.
Being gay is not a choice you mull over and say, yeah maybe one day... no, you either are, or are not. So don't worry, your kids can't be contaminated or whatever, but they will have to deal with diversity and people who don't share their opinions. Don't shelter them so much that they can't deal with that.
That's how rich people stay rich. They have the government fund many of their businesses all the while getting tax brakes for their businesses.
But you know, get people to bark at people on foodstamps.
I loathe Betsy DeVos. Her smirk, her evasiveness, her tone of voice, her sense of entitlement, her stupidity....uggh. And I find the idea of taxpayer $$$ going to PRIVATE schools offensive. WTH should I finance someone else’s choice? Those schools have sky-high tuition and wealthy donors, they can stay out of my pockets.
Federal Money Should NOT go to Religious schools! Separation of Church & State.
we should be glad that she didn't blame it on bears =D
Same conservatives would be screaming about federal funds going to Planned Parenthood. How is it possibly that they cannot see their own hypocrisy.
DeVos just kept dodging the question! Apparently she doesn't mind if discrimination happens.
Of course she doesn't mind, she's dedicated her sick, privileged life to discriminating against others and marginalizing kids of color, low income families, and LGBT orientations. She represents everything wrong with Christians and conservatives in this country.
Jordan Martirossian She realizes this issue is very political and whatever answer she gives will be twisted to fit the left agenda. if there where proof of discrimination she would be removed from office.
Ms Clark looks pissed. She isn't having it
Bri Penrod and she shouldn't take it children can't wait four or eight years for a better education
In what universe are hers Christian values? Didn't Jesus praise charity over avarice, & advocate caring for the poor, the ill, the marginalized (lepers, in his society) & showing tolerance for those different from yourself (a hated tax collector & a prostitute)?
Wow she couldn't have answered that question any worse
One of Ana's finest moments. She is spot on here.
And here I thought that trump's gonna drain the swamp 🤔
Our children's future is the first to go with budget cuts.
Our schools are in seriously sick state! I went to eat lunch with my children on several occasions and the food wasnt fit for a dog, each time! Important Programs get cut every year! We're letting our kids down.....big time!
Devos is pro-segregation.
If you have children Home school them.
an absolute disgrace this woman is, and just another example of how bad our president decision making choices are! no one should hold a position of this importance with ZERO experience!
Having gay friends has nothing to do with whether or not you're a bigot.
Acaulty it does, when you are around people you don't understand, you learn new things and grow to be a better person
That question at the hearing said it all. "Do you have any standards at all that could make you close down a private school?"
To point out the hypocrisy just ask Betsy DeVos if she supports funding of private schools that support teaching sharia law!
Ana is completely on point!!
Devos doesn't want to risk bringing scrutiny to her family's line of charter schools and lose money, so she's more than willing to turn a blind eye to charter/private schools.
No Trump supporters here? I'm curious to know what you think about this.
I attended a Christian high school. If you want to send your kids to one, great. But there's a reason why there are public and private schools. If you don't like what the government pays for, you can send your kids to any damn school you like as long as you pay for it. If the government subsidizes private schools, that defeats the purpose. I'm trying to be fair here. My views on Christian schools or private schools in general are irrelevant. Public schools shouldn't be allowed to discriminate. ANY school that gets govt funding shouldn't. If you're a private school that pays for its curriculum off the backs of parents, I don't give a damn what you teach.
PS 100% with Grace.
Americans today have to deal with problems that Americans of the past created and Americans today are over whelmed with stress. Guess what we're doing to the Americans of the future.
DeVos looks and sounds extremely clueless every time she talks. She might as well read directly off her puppet master's script.
I won't be friends with someone who won't stand up to my rights… I don't have a lot of friends…
oh how I would if 4 years down the line she was charged with a crime and blackwater was investigated as a result.
Asks question to Betsy, Betsy starts avoiding it like Stalin avoided actually implementing communism and the questioner immediately goes "so that's a no." Awesome. That's how you need to deal with nonsense talk.
Betsy Devos be looking like one of the Beagle Boys from Duck Tales. The ones that wear those bandit black masks.
Romeo Lopez best comment
it doesn't matter what letter of the alphabet you are, you should have choices in education as well.
The fact that DeVos threw up Title IX in defense of vouchers for a private school--especially parochial, which are not under that law--is especially telling.
Another self-righteous billionaire that believes capitalism should be applied to everything.
I work at a bank and private schools that make deposits have millions....
Eris R I wonder what percent of those dollars are directly from government subsidies...
I live in Michigan and everything in this video is 100% true
Anna, you are a champion of education!
I remember when I was in high school, they actually tore down buildings at the school, while way more students were coming in. It became overcrowded. now theres still a crapload of empty space.
But is she REALLY a "Christian"? I mean I don't see how anyone who is moderately intelligent could be a practicing "Christian", Oop--nevermind...
Betsy devos is wasting time of herself and others.
What would Jesus think about discrimination Betsy?
John Do Jesus would say leave it to the states. If you are lgbtq, you should move to CA. /s
is it even possible for Betsy to get fired for this shit? please give me some answers
macross25 but her ideas can be denied right?
It would take millions of Americans of all parties to come together, a protest like one has never seen and demand her removal. Maybe then something could be done.
Nolan Hewitt random thought Betsy actually has zero experience in education wouldn't be surprised if she googled her job right when she got it
Wait what y'all see what's she's gon' do to disabled kids
I'm from MI. She does not know what she's doing. Frankly, I think she's scared to death and doesn't know a damn thing of what she's doing.
Betsy DeVos is OK with discrimination in schools..... Of Course!
She is okay with leaving all decisions pertaining to education to the states. The statement shown was taken out of context, as we should expect from these "journalists."
Perhaps. Or it is like drugs. Being ok with something being legal doesn't mean you are ok with the act itself.
Alexandru, valid point. I do not believe that she is pro-discrimination, but who knows?
Eva, that's a bit of a spin. I have a 6 year old, and I moved to an area based on his school options (public school). I researched, yelped, googled, read reviews, and found a home close by so that my son would get the best education that I could afford. It's your job as a parent to do so, and it has never not been.
Also, if you have proof of blatant discrimination based on any of the factors mentioned in the clip, you can sue the ever-loving shit out of them. That goes for private, public, trade, or any other type of school.
Evan Price I'm not American but I've heard that driving around and shopping for school districts and hiring lawyers costs more than one could afford on a subsistence income, so 50% of your population would be unable to do it. Cutting funding for education is insane, unless you want a society where ignorance is a kind description of it. Look at who the wise forks of the US elected! Your education system is already in crisis. America will lose it's superpower status because of things like this. The twenty-first century is going to leave you in the dust.
No public money for private schools. No wonder public school kids sound & write & reason like they have never been to school at all. And much of this travesty is not their fault. Betsy just purchased her govt job!
Hairball 101 - Christian schools get taxpayer funds. Christians have moral codes. This confrontation fuels the fire for conservatives. Either leave them alone or if it's a big problem cut off tax funds. This issue helps the right wingers more than the left. Do we need this?
Sweederland Johnson - If I'm willing to help fund ethnic schools I also have to be willing to respect their beliefs. Strengthening the entire right for a few on the left is counterproductive to the entire left. Gays have to be tolerant too.
This isn't about pushing religion. This is about circumventing Brown vs. the Board of Education.
None of the discussed discrimination would affect DeVos. So she could give a fuck. This is what happens when you put a person in charge of our public school system that wants to dismantle our public school system.
tetsubo57 dah-doy. That's why, and how, she got her possition in the first place, to de-fund public schools and force every child in america into a church-run school
yo I personally LOVE when Ana goes off "Hold on Taylor Swift, I'ma let you finish but BETSY DEVOS IS A SNAKE IN THE GRASS TO STUDENTS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION"
