I am well aware of the reviews of this book (written by people who I really doubt read it). And I have to admit, I am not of fan of Ms. DeVos. But, in the interest of expanding my horizons, I wanted to give the book a chance.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Even a basic reading into her background will reveal an unabashed 1%'er, with an utter disdain for public education. Yet she tries to whitewash her privileged upbringing (just admit you come from money, and move on). It's all in her tone, in her very being, that comes across as disingenuous. Government is bad, rich people shouldn't have to send their children to a public school with the unwashed masses, and if we would just listen to our betters (her), we would all be better off.
I made it through the book. It wasn't easy. I ended up feeling repulsed by the author. Why someone who "doesn't have a way with words" thinks she should be the person telling the rest of us how to live is the utmost in hypocrisy.
I need a shower after this one. Ugh!
