    White House officials alarmed at education secretary's '60 Minutes' performance
    (CNN)White House officials were alarmed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' struggle to answer basic questions about the nation's schools and failure to defend the administration's newly proposed school safety measures during a tour of television interviews Sunday and Monday, according to two sources familiar with their reaction.

    Though DeVos was sworn in to her Cabinet position 13 months ago, she stumbled her way through a pointed "60 Minutes" interview with CBS' Lesley Stahl Sunday night and was unable to defend her belief that public schools can perform better when funding is diverted to the expansion of public charter schools and private school vouchers. At one point, she admitted she hasn't "intentionally" visited underperforming schools.

    i have a hard time believing that Trump would care about an ignorant performance by one his subordinates.  In fact, isn't that what the Trumpists like to see?  It's their way of sticking it to college educated liberal elitists?

    I didn't even realize that until a few weeks ago. Either that or I'd forgotten with all the other f'ed up garbage that occurs on a daily basis. What a messed up family they are.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    By the time this is all over roughly three per cabinet position will have a legitimate claim.

    Is there not a regular Devos thread?

    Anyone want to comment on that whenever she is questioned she gets roasted for what she would like to do in the form of education cuts?

    She should be made to volunteer at every state’s special Olympics and then at the world special Olympics while wearing a sign that reads, “Convince me of why there should be federal funding for the special Olympics.” What a hideous Administration and yet there’s still support.

    What a shocking surprise....

    This college was accredited by a DeVos-sanctioned group. We couldn’t find evidence of students or faculty.. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2020/02/15/college-accreditation-department-education-betsy-devos-south-dakota-sioux-falls/4746906002/

    Ha!  Here in KY our state legislators are bringing up past legislation that failed to pass and got Governor Bevin booted last November to screw teachers pensions.  Good times here in my ol' KY home 
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
