A Note From Betsy
Education is the lifeblood of everything we want America to be. Every American is impacted every day by how our education system has – or has not – risen to meet the unique needs of each student… to meet your needs, as a student, a parent, a teacher, a family member, an employer, or a proud citizen of this remarkable land.
Fighting for freedom in education is my life’s work. It was the honor of my life to serve as the 11th United States Secretary of Education. While the four years I spent in Washington got a lot of attention, I’ve spent nearly forty fighting for kids, their families, and a better education ecosystem. And that fight continues today. That’s why I’m so glad you’re here to learn more and get involved.
If we fix education, we fix America. It really is that simple.
I hope you’ll join me in the fight to bring education freedom to every kid in America. After all, they represent 100% of our future.

Hostages No More – The Fight for Education Freedom and the Future of the American Child
For too long, students have been held hostage by an outdated school system that’s focused on everything but children. We can change that.
Hostages No More tells the story of my fight for groundbreaking reforms to American education, but more importantly, it’s about our shared goal to free America’s children from an education system that continues to fail them. The school union bosses and their politician and media allies berate everyone who criticizes them, but parents are done being given excuses about why their kids aren’t learning and why they’re being force-fed poisonous curriculum.
I’ve been fighting alongside families for nearly 40 years, and the momentum demand for school choice is stronger than ever. This parent uprising will not stop until every family has education freedom. I hope this book will encourage you to join the fight for our children and our future.
“The Department of Education is functionally a middleman. And like most middlemen, it doesn’t add value. It merely adds cost and complexity.”

Says someone with no education experience….
You’re just wrong! You never had any business being there in the first place. It’s you who brought nothing of value. You never had any qualifications to run it and it’s no wonder you don’t understand it. You’ve never even taught a class. Why don’t you just sit down and enjoy your money and life and leave our education alone.
100% agree

What do you do when nobody wants a teaching job anymore? Who will be your teachers??
They are not anymore, I found a news letter from my school in the 70's to the parents, can't post it, but the difference is astounding
How on earth would you know? You're not a teacher, you are and were unqualified to be involved in education on any level, much less when you were head of it.

A well-deserved victory tonight for the Lady Wolf Pack volleyball team!
These ladies are also winning on the issue of PROTECTING women’s sports.
This is a matter of safety, fairness, and privacy.
I hope all of Nevada and America join in standing with these brave young women.
Sadly, we know her answer. The Biden-Harris #TitleIX regulation answers it quite clearly.
I can’t even believe we're even debating whether biological men, identifying as women, should be allowed to compete in women's sports!
What happened to the country I love—a nation that was always rooted in fairness?
