Betsy DeVos was ‘worst Secretary of Education ever’ says Elizabeth Warren after she quits over violent Capitol riots
BETSY DeVos has been dubbed ‘worst Secretary of Education ever’ by Elizabeth Warren after she sensationally quit over the Capitol riots.
Senator Warren wished Donald Trump's schools chief "good riddance" after four years of cuts to her own education department.
The Tweet read: “Betsy DeVos has never done her job to help America’s students. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that she’d rather quit than do her job to help invoke the 25th Amendment,”
“Good riddance, Betsy. You were the worst Secretary of Education ever.”
DeVos is the second Trump cabinet member to resign following the storming of the Capitol on Wednesday.
Pro-Trump rioters stormed the causing chaos leading to DeVos and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao tendering their resignations.
With little exposure to public education, she’s proposed billions of dollars in cuts to her own department.
The worst hit were after-school programmes, full-service community schools and even hitting class-size reductions and student loan debt forgiveness.
Trump had to overrule her planes to cut the Special Olympics, and she met significant resistance with the Demoractic controlled House passing budget increases in 2019.
Critics has said she’s used her wealth to push legislators to defund public education in favour of for-profit charter schools in the state, and students’ suffered badly as a consequence.
