Betsy DeVos says the Department of Education 'should not exist'

WASHINGTON - Betsy DeVos, who served as secretary of education under former President Donald Trump, said over the weekend to a conservative group that the department she led should be abolished.
"I personally think the Department of Education should not exist," she said Saturday during a Moms for Liberty event , in Tampa, Florida, according to Florida Phoenix.
DeVos added that educational decisions must be left up to states and local boards, per the Florida Phoenix.
Moms for Liberty's goal is to "organize, educate and empower parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government," according to its website.
DeVos' comment comes during a time of escalating culture war led by conservatives targeting the teaching of social issues such as race, gender identity, sexual orientation and the desire for more parents to control the school curriculum.
