- 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.
