Democrats for Education Reform, a group that pushes for more public charter schools and other education reforms, is calling on Democrats to decline if President-elect Trump tries to appoint them as secretary of education.
“No Democrat should accept appointment as Secretary of Education, unless and until President-elect Trump disavows his prior statements and commits to educating the whole child and supporting the communities and families they depend on,” the group’s president, Shavar Jeffries, said in a statement.
