I guess by attending and teaching at Punahou, Schatz and his parents didn't support public schools either. Also how does Perruso's  statement that DeVos'  transparent advocacy for affluent parents agree with Perruso's other statement that DeVos supports vouchers and charter schools.  These two statements are in conflict.  This was a case of the people vs. the teachers union.  The teachers union recently won in the  Hawaii Democrat legislature, but lost in the Republican Senate.  The only persons who see no problem with public schools are the teacher unions and the Democrat politicians they give money to. The United States ranks 28th in the world in public education.  It is time to change the way things are done.
