Public education advocates are demanding another hearing on Trump nominee for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, after her dismal performance in front of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee (HELP) January 17th and after the late release of her ethics report on January 20th.
The report, available here, details some 102 companies that might pose a conflict of interest for DeVos and sheds new light on the nominee's investments and ethics. (more)

I also asked what piece of information she was waiting for before making up her mind. A meteor shower? What could it be?
- she's not in any way qualified
- too many conflicts of interest that have not been cleared/explained
- the NAACP says no
- she seems to not understand/know that students with disabilities DO have to be served
-DeVos did not attend public schools.
-DeVos's children did not attend public schools.
-Devos is not qualified to manage a $1 trillion dollar student loan office
-DeVos supports vouchers.
-The DeVos family has a long history of supporting groups that espouse anti-gay rights views.
