Elizabeth Warren Pledged To Replace Betsy DeVos With A Former Public School Teacher If She Wins

Elizabeth Warren Pledged To Replace Betsy DeVos With A Former Public School Teacher If She Wins In 2020

"SNIP..... 

Sen. Elizabeth Warren promised Monday that she would choose a former public school teacher as secretary of education if she was elected president. 

“Let’s get a person with real teaching experience,” she said in an email to supporters. “A person who understands how low pay, tattered textbooks, and crumbling classrooms hurt students and educators.” 

Warren’s announcement was a sign of how Betsy DeVos, President Donald Trump’s education secretary, has become a rallying point for Democrats on the campaign trail — a figure who, more than any other Trump administration figure, draws boos and hisses at Democratic rallies across the country.

“I’ll just be blunt: Betsy DeVos is the worst Secretary of Education we’ve seen,” Warren told supporters in the email. “She and her team are up to their eyeballs in conflicts of interest. Instead of championing our students, they protect for-profit colleges that break the law and cheat them.” 

......SNIP"

You could replace her with a public school student and you’d still be ahead.
