As public schools grapple with the challenge of reopening during the coronavirus pandemic, Sec. DeVos is getting criticism for her low profile.
"What Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump are doing is equivalent to sending our military in harm's way without ammunition or bulletproof vests. Except nobody signed up for this," said the group's vice president, Ellen Offen, a former Detroit Public Schools teacher."It is simply gambling with the lives of our children, teachers and school parents. It is totally unacceptable."with Trump's threat to cut federal funding for schools that don't reopen.
