‘60 Minutes’ Snubs the Facts on Education

Earlier this week, CBS’ “60 Minutes” grilled Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on why she supports the idea that families like the Richardsons should be able to choose where and how their children learn. Reporter Lesley Stahl said traditional public schools are doing better today at educating students, and that allowing families to make choices results in less money for traditional schools. Stahl didn’t provide evidence for these claims, so her line of questioning is worth a closer look.
