Redemption, not retreat: Betsy DeVos’ vision for redeeming U.S. education

“In an address of sweeping historical breadth that quoted everyone from T.S. Eliot and Ronald Reagan to Russell Kirk, Secretary DeVos corrected two widespread misconceptions about U.S. education. First, she exposed the dichotomy between government-run education and family empowerment through choice. Then, she encouraged parents to jettison the defeatist position of a Benedict option in favor of a vision of victory that produces a redeemed education and a citizenry transformed by the renewal of its mind.” - Acton
