>>I assume you mean Betsy not Nancy....

Sorry, you're right.

>>All she wants to do is let every duffus who wants to turn a profit open a 'school'. You want our education system to turn into a bunch of Trump Universities ???

I went to the trouble of listening to her actual hearing that has been badly paraphrased in the MSM (quelle surprise.) She's all about choice and devolution of authority towards the front line. One example I liked was when she was grilled about guns in schools. She brought up one of the interrogators' own stories about a school in Wyoming that had to install a fence because of roaming grizzly bears. DeVos proposed that the state or school might reliably make its own decision on having a weapon onsite to protect the kids. She refused to virtue signal the obvious/easy blanket response because it might leave kids in peril. Could that be intellectual integrity? Nope: the version I saw in the MSM claimed that an unqualified DeVos thought schools should be allowed guns in case grizzly bears attack.

She also said she intended to take a salary of $1.

>>During the hearing she sat there trying to defend failing concepts proven not to work.

Do you mean Frankin's snipe about conversion therapy? Her response was that she never supported it, is committed to equality, believes in the inate value of every single human being, abhors discrimination and wants every child to be able to attend school and free safe.

>> But seeing how her family gave zillions of dollars to the GOP I guess some feel that makes it ok for her to have the job.

She said she's not sure how much her extended family might have donated to the GOP, but I'm told she personally donated a 6-figure sum to the Clinton foundation if such things are loaded with meaning.

FWIW, the last questioner implied that having never run a bank or loan system or ever having taken out a student loan, she lacks personal experience to be education secretary. Were that a valid argument, there should be no male obstetricians. ;-)
