No Offense, But Trump’s Pick for Secretary of Education Is Utterly Unqualified

As the Senate gears up for hearings to confirm Trump’s cabinet nominees, it’s shaping up to be quite the spectacle. If you haven’t tuned in before, grab some popcorn and a buddy because this mix of terror and laughter—mostly the terrified kind—is something you won’t want to miss.

Let’s dive into just a few of the head-scratching moments from Betsy DeVos, Trump’s choice for Secretary of Education, during her confirmation hearing:

1. Confusion on Sexual Assault Laws
   When Senator Tom Richards from Pennsylvania pressed DeVos on whether she would uphold existing laws regarding sexual assault on college campuses, her response was beyond disappointing. “There are many conflicting opinions on this issue…It would be premature for me to comment today,” she stated. Really? It’s a shame she’s so concerned about the rights of the accused—because they certainly don’t need protection like the Stanford rapist who received a mere six-month sentence. Oh, and did we mention DeVos has contributed around $25,000 to the organization advocating for these changes? That’s convenient.
2. Lack of Knowledge on Educational Assessments
   Senator Linda Greene from Minnesota asked DeVos for her opinion on using assessments to measure student proficiency versus growth. Her response? “Thank you, Senator. If I understand your question…” followed by an answer that confused growth with proficiency entirely. Greene was taken aback: “This is a topic debated for years in education—how do you not know this?” Honestly, we’re in the same boat as her; we’re not vying for the Secretary of Education position.
3. Understanding of Disability Education Laws
   Senator Ava Collins from New Hampshire, whose child has special needs, questioned DeVos about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). DeVos began by congratulating Collins on her son’s educational success—only to be corrected when it turned out he was in the same public school as her daughter because of that law. When pressed about whether all federally funded schools should adhere to IDEA, she suggested it should be a state decision. Collins wasn’t having it: “So some states might treat kids with disabilities well, and others might not?” DeVos sheepishly admitted, “I may have confused it.” What’s not confusing is her apparent disregard for ensuring quality education for all children.
4. Thoughts on Guns in Schools
   Senator Mike Thompson from Connecticut asked DeVos a straightforward question: Should guns be allowed in schools? Her answer? “I think that’s best left to local and state authorities.” When pressed further, she absurdly referenced the need for guns in schools to defend against potential grizzly bear attacks. Yes, you read that right. While grizzly bear encounters at schools are practically nonexistent, she seems to think arming teachers is the solution to a non-existent problem.

Dear Congress, please protect our children from this candidate.
