She wants to use the office to continue to promote 'God's Kingdom'. She won't commit to protecting students with disabilities, she won't commit to funding for public schools, she won't work to address fraud. Her confirmation hearing proved that she is inadequate and unqualified to be Secretary Of Education.
And unlike Ben Carson who has 'owned a house', she hasn't even attended a public school. Nor have her kids, nor has she taught at one, or even worked at one. And this is the person Donald Trump wants to put in charge of public education.
As a teacher this frightens and concerns me. As a parent who has kids in public schools this terrifies me. Democrats did a good job grilling her (Especially Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Tim Kaine, and Al Franken) all of whom made her look absolutely lost. But because she gave millions to Republicans, she'll be confirmed. It doesn't matter that she destroyed Michigan's schools. Or that she's wholly unqualified. All that matters is that she is a billionaire who donated money to Republican senators. So of course she'll be confirmed. I might die of shock if she isn't.
To put all this in perspective: If you attended a public school, congratulations! You are more qualified to be Secretary of Education than Betsy DeVos. And you've probably done a lot less to destroy public education than she has to boot.

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
