Cameras from Washington, D.C.’s ABC affiliate, WJLA-TV, recently captured angry protesters blocking Education Secretary Betsy DeVos from entering a DC public school.
Protesters created a barricade that blocked DeVos’ vehicle from entering the premises, holding up signs that read “Black Lives Matter” and “Same on Mike Pence.” The crowd chanted “Stop DeVos and build black futures” as they surrounded the vehicle...
Her appointment has been fraught with opposition — due in large part to her avid support of charter and private schools and opposition federal control over state education systems — and was capped off with Vice President Mike Pence’s tie-breaking vote in the Senate Tuesday to confirm her. Aside from a change.org petition that reached over 400,000 signatures that requested she not be confirmed, many have stated they will now be homeschooling their children afterward, interestingly something that DeVos has long supported.
