Senator Al Franken did not mince his words as who proved to every attending Trump's education appointee Betsy DeVos as her answers confirmed she is incompetent and has no reason to be voted in as Education Secretary. Franken's closing statement said it all.
Trump's Education Appointee was unable to answer a question that anyone within the education field must be abreast of given that policy depends on it.

Too bad the rethugs on the committee don't know enough about education to know what an idiot she showed herself to be. All any of them know is that Jay-zuss has to be part of every lesson.

They want to start using Limbaugh's Rush Revere series for grade school American History and teach "voodoo Economics" at the University level.
They also want to remove all that "diversity" stuff and "being kind to each other" and "tolerance".
Bullying will no longer be a problem for the bully. It's the victim who was at fault.
