'DeVos, deviating before Congress...' She did not answer a damn question

CaroleCasuco 98% of lower primates are smarter than she.

Hold her in contempt. She's as inept as a first grader.

What a weasel!

homo sapiens in Trumps cabinet

She needs to go!

She doesn't really need to say, though. We know, esp. in Michigan.

It’s also a parents right to decide what they want their child exposed too, their religion or non religion, not the school or federal government or liberal schools funded by government or run by unions.

Private schools not funded by government are private and should be exempt. We pay through the nose for non liberal education.

Like dems refused to say whether they support the green new dream?

This is me shocked....

😡😡😡

BetsyDeVosED cold hearted witch!

Don't be so full of lies and hate comrades. She's at least trying you should give it a try

If she refuses to say, then the answer is yes.

The obvious answer is NO.

somebody force this clown out, please?

School used to be a place we go to to learn. It's turned into a theater for kids to act like id!ots.

She is literally a real-life villain. But as in the movies, we know the good will prevail. Hopefully a new administration will work quickly to undo her damage.

That’s because she’s not sure which gender she is....

Shut the front door! How is she in charge? Oh, wait. Never mind.

Excuse me...?

She doesn't care if they do. And wouldn't mind at all if they did.

Uh

What a sweet lady...

Evil witch

Well, I guess we'll never know for sure what she really thinks. She's just a wall of inscrutability. Nope, no clues anywhere as to what she thinks or plans. If only she would have answered this question, then we might have had an inkling.

There are only 2 genders. If you don’t which one you are, don’t blame other people for it.👍🏽

Bigots gonna bigot

I'm willing to bet this is yet another lie by WaPo, who seem to consider any lie in furtherance of their political agenda justified if not obligatory.

Honestly - she’s maybe the biggest reason to get trump out in 2020. The damage she is/can/ and could do to generations of Americans is chilling

There is no bottom to this administration or party. 2020 can't come soon enough.

We all know she fully endorsed that kind of thing, and probably conversion therapy too.
