@betsydevoseed Betsy: 17 mass school shootings (4 or more fatalities) since 1989. Semi-auto weapons used in 12 of the 17. During assault weapon ban: 3 shootings during 1st five years, none during 2nd five years (ban was working). Since ban lifted, 11 shootings, 8 with semi-auto.
.@SenatorLeahy: "Will your commission look at the role of fire arms as it relates to gun violence in our schools?"
@BetsyDeVosED: “That is not part of the commission’s charge, per sey.”
Sen. Leahy: "I see…So, you're studying gun violence but not considering the role of guns."pic.twitter.com/vKMnMaduuf

At least 6 of the 17 mass shootings involved weapons belonging to family member of shooter. These stats are JUST a fraction of gun violence numbers in schools as they only reflect incidents of 4 or more fatalities (motherjones mass shooting data). Anyone have more info for Betsy?

I know you can't use CDC studies because the NRA blocked gun violence studies in order to protect themselves from liability but our country has many groups committed to stopping gun violence who have solid reputable studies that will assist you in making our schools safer.

@BetsyDeVosED your continued lack of leadership will drag our schools and children down to depths that are beyond all comprehension. -

Wanna know what's more dangrous than a gun? -> Subliminally administering the idea that public opinion and gun violence aren't related by focusing on what to do about gun violence before considering why it happens in the first place.
-
Not to mention opportunists like DeVos sabotaging education and willfully encouraging ignorance. Creating a more pliable generation, less capable of resisting.

I wonder if she can dodge bullets as well as she dodges answering questions.

Devos is an absolute puppet of the worst lobbying in American. The PBIS program she spoke of is a joke. It’s a damn token systems that offers no long term solution. She make me at her lack of any real experience on these matters.

She makes me sick.

Like most of her answers - incomplete & nonsensical. DeVos is woefully unprepared for the position she bought for herself in Trump's murky administration.

She was clearly not in line when brains were being handed out. Not only is she the biggest dumbshit ever to work at the DoE, she's a malignant racist and zealot for things she can't even begin to understand. JFC.
