DeVos proposal on sexual assault draws wave of personal attacks
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ proposal to change rules for how schools handle sexual assault allegations has turned the federal site for collecting public comments into a cauldron of anger and obscenity.
DeVos, one of President Donald Trump’s few remaining original cabinet secretaries, has not become embroiled in any administration scandals during her two years running the Education Department, but she remains enemy No. 1 one for many teachers and activists. The comments reflect not only the divisiveness and emotion surrounding assault investigations but how anything DeVos touches can spark hostility.
“F--- you Betsy,” reads one comment.
"DeVos is a traitor to women everywhere," another wrote. One chimed in with: "Ms DeVos: for the good of ALL women: PLEASE RESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
As of Friday, there were nearly 72,000 comments on the Education Department’s proposed rule. The proposal is controversial, viewed by critics as DeVos doing President Donald Trump's bidding to protect sexual harassers, pointing to such accusations against the president. The comments are peppered with references to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose nomination was nearly tanked by sexual assault allegations.
