Fact Check: Bob Casey’s Hypocrisy Explains DeVos Attacks

Casey clearly recognizes that private schools offer an opportunity for students to receive a great education, yet he opposes Betsy DeVos’ efforts to expand school choice

February 6, 2017

Bob Casey’s hypocrisy is only matched by his desire to carry out the agenda of his left-wing donors.

HYPOCRISY:

• Growing up, Casey attended Scranton Preparatory School, a coed Catholic and Jesuit college preparatory school and he sent his children there as well.

BOUGHT AND PAID-FOR:

• From 2006 to 2012, Casey received at least $47,925 from employees of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA).

Casey clearly recognizes that private schools offer an opportunity for students to receive a great education, yet he opposes Betsy DeVos’ efforts to expand school choice. The only explanation is that he feels the need to appease his special-interest campaign donors.
