Education activist Laurie Cardoza-Moore has voiced significant concerns regarding the potential nomination of Penny Schwinn as Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. Cardoza-Moore, who is the founder of Proclaiming Justice To the Nations, describes Schwinn's possible appointment as a "huge red flag" for the future of educational policies in the country.
