My Friend Dave Burnett Linked to This Bizarre News Story

He posted this "Withdrawing from a federal program because you don't like the person nominated to its helm...who supports withdrawing from federal programs. This is so meta." on Facebook.

2/9/17 NBC News:
Among the initial opposition to Betsy DeVos' confirmation this week as education secretary were calls on social media by parents, including liberals, to start homeschooling their children.
That reaction to DeVos — a billionaire school-choice advocate who has never worked, attended or sent her kids to a public school — reflects how polarizing her nomination was.
It also comes layered with paradox.
That's because DeVos, whom the Senate confirmed Tuesday to head the Education Department, is herself a big proponent of homeschooling.
If this seems odd: I have a hard left sister who homeschooled her daughter in the suburbs of Portland.
