Is this the first time an Education Secretary of any administration has needed federal protection?

Can’t imagine being someone like Betsy DeVos. She’s worth billions of dollars. She could retire forever on an island somewhere. But she chose to go through a grueling public humiliation just for the opportunity to take education away from poor kids. Imagine being that depraved.

Makes you wonder what her motivations really are. Even more, wondering why others are inclined to support her role there. None of it fits. Reeks of corruption.

Sen.Harris, big fan, but this is not a major win, it's what should've been happening already. We all lose with DeVos

The minute Trump won, everything went out the window. What we expected as a given before doesn't matter, so I consider this a win.

The whole point of DeVos' push is to give cover to trump's fraudulent "university" scam. She/they wiill continue in some other form to protect trump from being held accountable. We cannot afford to assume they've given up. Stay vigilant.

I was hoping it was her resignation. She is clueless, out of touch, and bad for the department of education.

This is something we have to work on when Dems regain power. It should not be this difficult or expensive to get a degree. Education is a 'need to have', not a 'nice to have'.
