STATEMENT: Reynolds continues attacks on public schools, hiring former Trump, DeVos aide

Des Moines, Iowa -- Progress Iowa Executive Director Matt Sinovic issued the following statement in response to Gov. Reynolds hiring McKenzie Snow, a former aide to Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump to run Iowa’s Department of Education:

“Every parent wants their child to have the best possible education and the opportunity to thrive in school. Parents and students deserve a heck of a lot better at the Department of Education than someone who learned how to privatize and pillage our public schools working under former MAGA President Donald Trump and private school executive Betsy DeVos. We deserve someone who will support public education for every child and who ensures kids have the freedom to learn an honest, accurate education. Unfortunately, today’s hire proves Kim Reynolds is intent on continuing her attacks on parents, students, and our public schools.”
