You really think that Ms. DeVos doesn't care about education, simply because he ideas don't line up with yours?

I don't know if Charters and public funding of religious schools are the solution, but I know that the monopolistic public education and monopolistic union-industrial complex isn't the answer.

Even if she has a 'privatizing' agenda, so what? Why not give it a try. There's an argument that in aggregate, charters do no better than public education -- but that also suggests that they do no worse.
