She  has chaired a pretty extreme tea-party leaning Christian education 'foundation' for quite some time. My faith in my government has been quite shaken, seeing the embarrassment it's become, so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility that some mis-guided program is rolled out of nowhere, with no notice, funding being cut suddenly, without a thought of how it affects actual people. It's not just blind conjecture that a random billionaire with no actual experience in the public school system could bungle up a complicated system like education.
