Leslie is joined by Randi Weingarten, president of the 1.6 million member American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

The two discuss why, in the words of Ms. Weingarten, "the president-elect, in his selection of Betsy DeVos, has chosen the most ideological, anti-public education nominee put forward since President Carter created a Cabinet-level Department of Education.

In nominating DeVos, Trump makes it loud and clear that his education policy will focus on privatizing, defunding and destroying public education in America."

The website for the American Federation of Teachers is www. AFT.org and their Twitter handle is @AFTUnion. President Weingarten's handle is @RWeingarten.
