On February 7, 2017, Betsy DeVos was confirmed to serve as Secretary of Education. Some think she is very qualified and is fit for the job; however, many think she is not, including Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders who both grilled Mrs. DeVos during her hearing on January 17, 2017.
Senator Warren sent DeVos a 16 page letter telling her how she is unqualified for the position of Secretary of Education. DeVos has said that she wants to get rid of public schools several times.
During the hearing most of the people there were appalled that she was okay with guns in schools and not knowing the basic things about education. Mrs. DeVos or her children have never attended public schools and have attended private school their whole education. Mrs. DeVos has a degree in business, so many are wondering why we are trusting her with the position of being in charge of our country’s and children's future.
She has been involved with education in Michigan as a Republican chairwoman and chair of the group American Federation for Children. Many educators in Michigan are very angry with some of the decisions that DeVos has made over her time in Michigan.
Education is what saves people from poverty and gives people the better skill set to work, so many people are concerned about letting this person, who knows nothing about education, run our country's schools?
