God forbid teachers may have to step up their game.

Randi Weingarten’s practically inconsolable today. Despite her best efforts, the American Federation of Teachers president’s “care bear” proved to be an inadequate barrier to Betsy DeVos’ confirmation.
It’s telling that Trump & GOP could only get DeVos confirmed by an unprecedented tiebreaking vote by his VP https://t.co/Gvw9he0nKD

It’s likely we’ll hear the same trashing of public schools used for the last 2 decades. It's a sad day for kids. https://t.co/Gvw9he0nKD

Since Weingarten and so many other liberals are falling to pieces over DeVos, this thought from National Review’s Katherine Timpf is worth bearing in mind:
Note: "Sad day for children" and "sad day for teachers unions" is not the same thing

It’s so simple, and yet … so very true.

Update:
Another important distinction:
Note: "I think school choice is good" and "I hate kids and want the poor to die" are not the same thing
