Betsy Devos tells Department of Education to resist Biden administration

Outgoing education secretary Betsy DeVos has encouraged her staff to “be the resistance” when the new Biden administration takes over in a new leaked recording, according to the US media.

Ms DeVos was speaking at a department-wide virtual meeting on Tuesday about the shift to the new administration. Citing a recording from the meeting, Politico quoted Ms DeVos saying: “Let me leave you with this plea: Resist.

“Be the resistance against forces that will derail you from doing what’s right for students. In everything you do, please put students first — always,” she can be heard saying.

Initially, in the recording, she is also heard acknowledging that the staffers of the Department of Education “will be here through the coming transition and beyond”.

Most Department of Education employees have been resisting Betsy Wetsy since the day she walked in the door. As for any troublemakers she brought with her - they should be frog marched out of the department when the Biden Administration takes over.
