DeVos Slammed For Calling Black Colleges 'Pioneers' Of School Choice
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Monday night released a statement suggesting that historically black colleges were the product of a "school choice" movement, prompting swift backlash on Twitter and from Democratic lawmakers.
"They started from the fact that there were too many students in America who did not have equal access to education," DeVos said in a statement. "They saw that the system wasn’t working, that there was an absence of opportunity, so they took it upon themselves to provide the solution."
"HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice," she added. "They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality. Their success has shown that more options help students flourish."
DeVos' statement painting African Americans' efforts to create higher education options for themselves in a segregated society as a "choice" earned her criticism from Democratic members of Congress and others:

Whats your point?
My point is that you were incredibly vocal about your decision to not vote in the last election and it suits you to downplay the repercussions or that choice or to mischaracterize statements like this as "she's speaking her mind and I love it" without regard to the context or implications of this particular person and the power she wields and the effects that it will have on society for years to come.
Your myopia is self-serving but it's also transparent to those of us who pay attention. -
I dont know ? about what all this is about, but i know this ? and the rest of that cabinet needs to die.
That trump news where he ate a well done steak with ketchup sent me over the edge, its time for a revolution. -
people are so sensitive
