At the school choice roundtable at the @WhiteHouse with @POTUS and @VP, Walter Blanks shared how school choice changed his life. Watch his interview with @FoxNews and hear why he supports #EducationFreedom for all students https://t.co/p55NGofdLI — PolitiTweet.org

America’s educators know what it takes to teach a student to read, they just aren’t given the freedom to teach it. #EducationFreedom https://t.co/OIGoozCV2N — PolitiTweet.org

.@rweingarten It's time for a lesson on accuracy! Parents don’t "choose" to send their student to a government-assigned school – they actually don’t have a choice at all! In fact, 69% say they’d prefer to send their student elsewhere. Source: https://t.co/rz6FVx2tIe https://t.co/EnJ17HWoQ2 — PolitiTweet.org

.@nasfaa found that while Federal Student Aid is ranked for total assets alongside the country’s biggest banks, the similarities end there. Banks rely on boards of directors for strategic direction and oversight. FSA has no such thing. https://t.co/3HhUUuhWhO — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @POTUS, for your continued support of #EducationFreedom Scholarships and for your leadership on this important issue. Every student – no matter their zip code or family income – deserves the freedom to pursue the education that works best for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

DC OSP Alumnus Michael White shares that no matter what zip code a family lives in, their children should have the ability to have a quality education and each family should have the freedom decide where exactly their children goes to school. #EducationFreedom https://t.co/JasuRy7G3F — PolitiTweet.org

What’s missing in education today is at the core of what makes America truly great: freedom. Kids should be free to learn where and how it works for them. Learn more about our #EducationFreedom Scholarships proposal here ⬇️ https://t.co/O2BYRmNvVf https://t.co/K7OkOCn7xS — PolitiTweet.org

Thankful for @ALEC_States’ support of our #EducationFreedom Scholarships proposal. ALEC’s endorsement tells everyone that our proposal is the conservative, limited government cure for what plagues American education. https://t.co/hSBWtP2Zgg — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Sending a big thank you to Governor @DougDucey for hosting an impactful roundtable on the importance of #EducationFreedom for students in AZ and how our Education Freedom Scholarships proposal will empower even more students to find the right education fit. https://t.co/EtEgnlstse — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Congress never set up @usedgov to be a bank. But that’s effectively what it’s become—with $1.5 trillion in outstanding loans to 42 million borrowers. It’s no wonder students are having bad experiences. We can and must do better for students. https://t.co/bUNgEzsIj8 — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to seeing @SenAlexander’s #FUTUREAct move forward in the Senate today! This Administration has been a strong advocate for #FAFSA simplification and providing HBCUs the financial certainty they need in order to focus on their students’ success. — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Great to show students at @PAN_Cadence the new and improved #CollegeScorecard! With @usedgov's new update, students have access to MORE data than ever to explore education options after high school. Visit https://t.co/rwsOqQyIKQ to learn more. https://t.co/qp64ZHP8h6 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

A reimagined Federal Student Aid would do all the things it’s been charged to do—only far better. @POTUS and this Administration are committed to transforming Federal Student Aid for students. Congress needs to come alongside us to make this happen. 10/10 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

A separate Federal Student Aid would be better positioned to deliver world-class service to students and their families as they finance higher education. It would manage the student loan portfolio and work to secure its financial strength and sustainability. 9/10 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

One has to wonder: why isn’t Federal Student Aid a standalone government corporation, run by a professional, expert, and apolitical Board of Governors? 8/10 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

…And that starts with acting like a world-class financial firm. One that is truly independent from interference, political, or otherwise. One that puts its customers—students and their families—at the center of everything. One that focuses on and achieves its mission. 7/10 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Now, I’m not so sure the Federal government should monopolize student lending, but if it does—and, for now, it essentially does—then it must provide services on par with world-class financial firms… 6/10 https://t.co/1q6Cj8WuZh — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Since the Federal government inserted itself everywhere in student lending, everything has become more cumbersome and more confusing for everyone. 5/10 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Just look at today’s parade of repayment options, forgiveness plans, unlimited lending, and complex rules that Federal Student Aid and educators have been asked to implement, and then explain to students and their families. 4/10 https://t.co/qhJ9NUDun8 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Today, FSA holds more than 1.5 trillion dollars in outstanding loans to 42 million borrowers. That portfolio makes FSA bigger than @BankofAmerica, bigger than @jpmorgan, bigger than @CapitalOne. Indeed, it represents the country’s biggest consumer lender. 3/10 https://t.co/a8WZUtdRM4 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Congress never set up @usedgov to be a bank, nor did it define the Secretary of Education as the Nation’s "top banker." But that’s effectively what Congress expects based on its policies. 2/10 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED

Federal Student Aid’s mission is to serve students and their families, but its structure is set up to serve politicians and their policies. FSA is broken and needs a fundamental transformation to meet its commitment to each and every student’s success. THREAD ⬇️ 1/10 — PolitiTweet.org
