and certainly not people who study them for a living because he bought betsy devos's line.that improvements has been flat. that scores have been flat and it's been shooting up. this is an old right-wing trick that completely fails to account for things like the value of today's dollars versus yesterday's one the fact that today's schools are serving and students who they once didn't serve. they are more inclusive in terms of serving kids of color and low income kids area there sort of playing games with scores so i would say if all oligarchs had a little more faith in people and a little more faith in educators, i think that they might have a different set of favored reforms that they would be pushing. >> when i wrote when of their own my goal was to knockdown the myth and the first myth is our schools are failing so what i discovered was looking at scores over a long tranny of time and looking at graduation rates, graduation rates are thehighest they ever been in history . the highest they been in a century for every group and when you look at international comparisons, we

made sense for them of what the real threat posed by betty and betsy wasn't as we started to work but, we realize that she was the tip of the iceberg i think that's a perfect metaphor here because she was a highly visible and yet less ultimately dangerous threat where the deeper threat lies beneath the surface and thinking the line from your book diane in which you instructed readers to think it was recognize the public education in the public responsibility not a consumer good printed and if you invert that, you've got your threat for you have you with. that is a name to invert that into turn public education into consumer good in this playing out at the state level. in all sorts of states, red and blue right now. we both live in restitution sprayed in just to the north of us in new hampshire, there's about what essentially devastate public education for the foreseeable future by channeling the state for people expenditure into a batch of that could be spent anywhere. it's not a public school within a private school or any kind of private school. so ultimately i think that i came awa

the betsy cohen mentioned earlier. people like the deal this is a company that was said to potentially be ready to go public at the $5 billion valuation not long ago now it is valid at $10 billion roughly i've got it about 9 or 10 times 2022 numbers. and we're going to be joined by the founder and betts sy cohen >> it was a year ago today, jim that the dow is down 3,000 points s&p was down 300 points. worst ever loss for the nasdaq on a percentage basis. the vix was 80 plus. jim talked about all of that on that market day on "mad money" a year ago ago take a listen. >> i want to be sure you understand my view okay not only are we not out of the woods but if you are in travel, leisure, entertainment, restaurants, okay, hotel, aerospace. bad. all right? bad. i don't have anything good to say. i haven't had anything good to say since the super bowl and i redouble my not having anything good to say >> wow >> jim it kind of points to what you have been saying in the weeks leading up to that and that was this was a biologica

there has been a pointing of fingers to the former education secretary betsy devos.portant step. the idea to roll back the due process rules for college campuses. the title 9 rule changes under the trump administration are harmful. how do you respond? >> she simply could not be further from the truth. secretary betsy devos took years and got input from members of the public and survivors and accused students and policy experts to create a rule that is fair to all students and is legally binding. this carries the force of law. it's important to remember that the betsy devos title 9 rule with stood every single legal challenge thrown at. it the return to the obama administration dear colleague letter would be a step back. the total miscarriage of justice that happened to cory is not unique. they tracked countless incidents where colleges and universities try to trample on the rights of student. while secretary betsy devos and trump deserve tremendous credit for protecting all students. due process is not their invention. it's sacred to the american legal system. >> sha

but betsy ross was a real historical figure, her house is still there in philadelphia.e did do was run her own upholstery shop after her husband died young. she was widowed and took over the shop. she was skilled as a seamstress. she made flags and banners and other symbolic textiles, but what she was mainly doing was up pro string -- up bolstering furniture. she ran that upholstery shop for decades as a sole proprietor, as a woman in the 19th century, which if you ask me is a much greater achievement than inventing a flag. all the more so because this was the time when industrialization was sweeping across the country and for many women, especially, but also men and children, the rise of the factory system was a life altering event. these are a couple of images from lowell, massachusetts where these large scale spinning mills and loom mills were set up for processing cotton. cotton that was harvested in the south by slave labor. the hard truth, and we are seeing this around the world now, is that people did these jobs instead of farm labor jobs which were even more mar

i gave betsy. he says visually people are much older and much bigger than they were in the civil war. they don't really i mean that stonewall jackson guys, maybe 100 pounds heavier than stonewall jackson was him. so, i mean they don't really look like them necessarily because we just have different body types now than we did 100 years ago, but sometimes a sound and and dying in that respect allows certain people to experience a deeper version of that. i just want to say one more thing. this is not your question. i'm just going to add to your question. the difference between these two groups the colonial williamsburg people work they're employed at the museum. somebody's doing everything for them all every single thing about them is provided to them the background of their character their clothing etc. civil war guys are doing all their own resources spending a lot of their own money a lot of time and there's something very admirable to me to the fact that they're doing that the one of the guys i sh

the house of betsy ross is well marked, and stands today in a perfect state of preservation.d with all the original colonial buildings intact. a quaint reminder of the city's past. the independence hall, stands for the visitor today, much as it was, when the first continental congress met here for the birth of a nation. the soldiers pause before america's most precious chime, the liberty bell. the graveyards of philadelphia, nestled close beside the city's historic churches, received the attention of men and women in uniform. the weathered tablets marking the grave, we'd like a who's who of the american revolution. there are many ways of spending a sunday afternoon in philadelphia, and one of them is at the national league ballpark, where the philadelphia fillies play. as part of the afternoon program for recreational activities, the ball game with cincinnati was a popular attraction for servicemen, and they're enthusiastic hosts. the among the synagogues in philadelphia, some are from the colonial days. the second oldest synagogue in the united states. founded in 1740, it wa

kids, but there is some money for private schools, which is something the democrats did not like when betsyo do that. now that is in this bill. laura: there is a special carveout for private schools. one of the controversies around betsy devos, she was using some of the public school allocation and rigging the formula in a way some thought was unfair. this case, there is no doubt what the law says. almost $3 billion is set aside for private schools. traditionally, democrats have said, public schools get public money, private schools do not. they have been opposed to vouchers and other programs. on the rationale from the senate majority leader, these private schools have been hit hard by the pandemic, which is true. they also serve aumber of children. william: one of the criticisms of the larger relief till and money, this is so much money and there is left over unspent money from prior relief bills. how true is that? laura: it is true, there is money left over. the school districts will tell you that is because they have budgeted those funds, but have not yet spent them. like any wise budge

one of those children was a young girl named betsy burns.eterson noted that she has gone back to school. if she has not done so, i should be very glad to have you send your police after her. she belongs to you, and they must be made to understand that they cannot go out of school in the middle of a year or of a term without the consent of the superintendent. i have no police here, or i would send her over to you myself. here, peterson is writing to custer, the superintendent and special dispersing agent. again, wanting to track down betsy burns and to make sure that she was attending school. there was another young ute boy who was a runaway, and peterson simply states billdunn, an allotted ute boy who has been in school year, ran away yesterday. again, writing to the superintendent. i shall be glad to pay the police for bringing the boy. finally, there is another case of a runaway where the superintendent just assures him that he would settle a bill in his efforts to recover a runaway, and to send that child back to fort lewis. one thing tha

that changed with betsy devos. what do you any about the potential for reversing that? >> it's a travesty. we know these kangaroo courts don't have a lot of process. betsy devos said at least the accuser has to know what is going on, allow cross examination. she expanded protections for victims and say we'll look at stalking as well. to roll it back and go to this kangaroo court system is a travesty. >> martha: yeah, in this country, due process is important and it can't not exist on a college campus when someone is accused. you know, we'll be watching that closely. great to see you, kayleigh. thanks for being here. hope you come back afternoon. >> any time. thanks. >> martha: you bet. so we have had silence from buckingham palace after harry and megan accused them of racism. the new clips that are just coming through and my interview with daily mail editor piers morgan and how he says he thinks the couple is lying. that's next. if you have risk factors like heart disease, diabetes and raised triglycerides,... ...vascepa can give you something to celebrate. ♪ vascepa, w

working with betsy devos, we lamented that our education system is prone to saying no instead of finding the will to get to yes, but most important he it is built around those who run it, not those it is supposed to serve, students. america's are being robbed of precious time they should spend in classrooms alongside their peers. studies show school closures lead to significant learning loss with students of color suffering the most, exacerbating the already existing achievement gap. republicans understand education as a gateway for students to achieve their greatest potential in society. at such a pivotal moment in this country, why would we allow the next generation of entrepreneurs, business owners, civic leaders and so many more to be left behind? proud conservatives in congress and state houses around the country recognize this great threat. we won't stand idly by while america's families and students are left to fend for themselves. for over a year, the public has been told to believe the science, follow the science and live by the science, but now that the science favors school re

first thing that i want to do before i begin is i want to start with my gratitude and my thanks to betsypeterson, to john gold, and especially to nancy grouse who made this whole experience really effortless and easy for them. a look at contemporary costume reenactment events in the united states reveal that there are two historical periods that are the most performed at the most watched. these two periods in american history, the revolution and the american civil war are full of pride and contention. subjects for serious scholarship, for popular fiction and film, and they serve as inspiration for costume performance, by thousands of individuals. national preservation efforts have maintained, and sometimes recreated decides associated with this particular historical periods, and these become obvious locales for reenactment. three factors. well preserved structures and landscape. accurate looking costumes. and the sincerity of performance lead to a moving spectacle for the audience, and heightened experience for the actor. the realistic looking and sounding demonstration often has the pow

when we had betsy devos, we limited our education system is plenty saying note rather than finding the get together but around those who run it not those it is supposed to serve. america's children are being robbed of precious time they could be spending and classrooms alongside their peers. study show that school closures lead to learning loss, with students of color losing the most. republicans understand that education is a gateway to achieve the greatest potential in society. at such a pitiful -- at such a pivotal moment why would the next generation be left behind? statehouses around the country recognize this threat. we will not stand idly by while making families and students are left to fend for themselves. for over a year the public has been told to follow the science and live by the signs, now that it favors reopening, bureaucrats and teachers unions come that schools are no longer safe for american students. you have heard the biden administration changes to too many times. first they claimed it was going to reopen the majority of schools within 100 days, then they said we w
