Fake news really is an epidemic, but Betsy DeVos is trying not to get bitten. “Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, clams: ’80 percent of…the charter schools in Detroit are failing…. What she has done is actually made schooling worse in Michigan,'” John Stossel and Maxim Lott write on the Reason.com blog. “But DeVos, correctly, counters: ‘Charter schools in Michigan…are doing demonstrably better than…traditional public schools.'”
“She points to a Stanford study that concluded Michigan charter schools are so much better than public schools that it’s as if charter kids get months of additional learning every year.”
