WASHINGTON — Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says she's not going anywhere with Democrats taking control of the U.S. House in January, despite rumors to the contrary. But if she stays, her life is almost certainly going to get a whole lot tougher.

On Monday, in response to a question about rumors circulating that DeVos, a Michigan billionaire, Republican backer and former school-choice advocate in the state, might be looking at stepping down, her press secretary, Liz Hill, knocked down the suggestions.

"The rumors are just that …rumors," Hill wrote in an email to the Free Press. "The Secretary has no plans of stepping down." There is almost universal agreement, however, that DeVos — who has made only rare appearances on Capitol Hill to testify with Republicans in charge of both chambers of Congress — is going to be asked a lot more questions in the future.

It also means that departmental policies on issues such as civil rights, school choice, sexual assault investigations, transgender students' access to bathrooms and student loan repayment are all going to come under close scrutiny. - More...

Frederick Hess with the American Enterprise Institute said "the Democratic House has made clear that it will be energetic about oversight. That may mean healthy, appropriate scrutiny of department business or organized harassment intended to make it harder for DeVos and her team to do their jobs. Which it is will tell us a lot about the priorities of the Democratic majority and how Dems. hope to position themselves for 2020.”

Unions for educators expect a change: after the midterm elections the National Education Association stated that the shift "will serve as an important check on President Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos." The American Federation for Teachers said yesterday it is "hopeful that in a Democratic House, (expected new chairman U.S. Rep.) Bobby Scott’s committee can now exercise oversight over Betsy DeVos’ agenda."

1. Oh my god....

I facepalmed... When she was placed in that position...


She's ALL about making $$….



One of trump's ELITES...

God help our educational system...

[appalachiablue]

2. DeVos makes me think of Nancy Reagan, Michelle Bachman, Phyllis S.,

Anita Bryant...more. I feel like I'm in the 80s again!

[Bfd]

11. Anita Bryant "Save our children from homosexuals"

Anita Bryant helped to launch the anti-gay rights movement -
The Christian right took inspiration from Bryant’s political movement.


Yes, she's a perfect comparison to Betsy Devos

[appalachiablue]

12. Yep, Anita, Xtians, & the Fla. Orange Juice Council.

My gay younger brother particularly detested her. BDV looks exactly the same, as then..so creepy.

[Bfd]

14. She married that Fundy holier than thou, Bob Green

They did so much harm to innocent people.

[appalachiablue]

17. Am I fortunate for the family I was born to, liberals, all.

Seeing people like Bryant and DeV. is depressing, but brings me back to the reality of cruel RW believers out there.

[Progressive Jones]

28. Shriveled and leathery... nt

[SimpleC]

13. She's of a different category...

Just a weird share... I was deaf until I was six... the education system declared me retarded... I just couldn't hear... I was 6... I didn't know you could hear...

Side note... some BEAUTIFUL teacher with BIG BOOBS... !!… I don't remember her name.... dragged me to a hearing doctor and they realized I was stone cold deaf.... I couldn't hear... turned out I was missing some cartilage in my ear... the tore piece from my arm and placed it in my ears and suddenly I could hear...

Human beings... being as we are... we adapt... and I am a good reader of body language...

I watched an interview between Betsy Devos and a couple concerned teachers... and I seen Betsy Devos body language...

In my humble opinion... she's about as FAKE as they come.... She doesn't give a SHIT about education... she's going to take this education secretary position and find a way to absolutely RAPE it..

She's part of why I voted this year...

Though I can't remember that teacher... I am thankful... She DID have big boobs... Six year old mind there...

Betsy Devos is a Demoness...

During her interview... she was smiling and agreeing with everything that was said to her... her whole body language was screaming to me "FUCK" YOU:... She's VISCIOUS....

[Bfd]

15. Thanks for your post. Great rant!

"her whole body language was screaming to me "FUCK" YOU:... She's VISCIOUS.... "

Damn!
thank you

[SimpleC]

21. It gives me a weird insight...

I can read body language... I'm almost hypersensitive to it....throughout life... it has helped me but it sometimes sucks...

[Hotler]

33. Boobs!

[Historic NY]

3. They always do Trump gets these trial ballons out and a few weeks later

they are gone.

[WePurrsevere]

31. This is exactly my first thought as well. It's their pattern. nt

[lagomorph777]

32. Bye-bye Cruella DeVos!

Now, to find somebody even more devoted to promoting ignorance through education...Anal Roberts? Jerry Fuckwell Jr?

[Bfd]

4. Rats fleeing

[sandensea]

6. If you see one with a bleach job and a facelift,

that's her.

[Bfd]

16. Haaaha betsy, ivanka & kellyanne & all the trophy wives of that trump cult

There's a reason why god put them all on the same boat.

[sandensea]

18. You're right. That doesn't really narrow it down much does it.

[appalachiablue]

19. Yes Betsy & Kellyanne, perfect. Bet they get facials together..

[Bfd]

20. Noticed that Kellyanne's lookin a bit "pulled up" in the face lately.

She was MIA for awhile there.

Yuk

[appalachiablue]

22. Yeah, I noticed she's looking a bit better, more energy too.

Could be a lift, or a new young hot guy maybe. Nah..

[Bfd]

23. Haaha "or a new young hot guy maybe. Nah."

But if she did, which trumprat would it be..that's a tough one.
Nunes? He'd be young & hot to kellyanne maybe.
Stephen Miller?

[appalachiablue]

24. Miller, who...Both need Love! Say no to Incel

[Bfd]

25. LOL. Haaha omg..I can feel my mind snapping like a rubber band somedays.

This must be one of them.

Rofl


OMdearG, think i'll just go to bed early.

Thanks

[mysteryowl]

5. Here is another agency for congress to look into.

Just what has DeVos been up to? How has she destroyed the agency?

[Progressive Jones]

29. Hates public education. Wants evangelical run charter schools for all. nt

[mysteryowl]

34. I know and that is worth investigating is my point.

[AZ8theist]

7. OMFG

She is THE WORST POS in a cabinet FULL OF POS's.

She can doctor her calendar all she wants, but I hope and pray it get's FULL OF SCHEDULED APPEARANCES TO TESTIFY ON HER CORRUPTION AND STUPIDITY.

What a piece of garbage. Fuck her to hell.

[cstanleytech]

10. Are you sure? I mean Trumps nominated so many POS's that they have

all blurred together for me.

[AZ8theist]

35. I see your point.....

It's hard to distinguish the which part of the swamp he "drained" and which part he filled up....

[vlyons]

8. Of course she's going to leave

She made a complete fool of herself the last time she testified, or rather showed what a complete fool she is and always has been. She's filthy rich and can do whatever she wants, go anywhere, live a useless life of luxury. Why wouldn't she want to leave?

[gay texan]

9. Mrs. Skeletor is worried n/t

[Botany]

26. Betsy DeVos' Staff Denies Rumor She's Leaving Education Secretary Job

I wonder what she is on the run for or from?

[truthisfreedom]

27. What does previous experience teach us? Appointed by joke president,

Leaves on a whim. First rumor is always true in this admin.

[Buckeyeblue]

30. I think Betsy will quit before making a bigger fool of herself
