Education Secretary Betsy DeVos physically blocked by protesters from entering D.C. school | WJLA

Okay, the lady sucks and bought her way into the role, but come on. What exactly does this solve? These protesters aren't solving anything either by just getting in the way.

Kind of ironic since she will be probably closing that school for good.

I really don't get all the 2 year old foot stamping that is going on. The election is over. The appointments have been made. Stomping your feet changes nothing. History has show us that it is far better to work within the system than to stand outside and throw rocks.

Oh darn! You mean no more severely under-educated kids coming from that school? Oh, the humanity...

The SJW Left make even the most detestable people (Trump, DeVos) sympathetic characters.

It's absolutely amazing how they manage to do this over and over again.

The Left could make a puppy un-cute.

The "shut it down" deranged left never ceases to amaze me.

Honestly, the only reason why I don't want this constant outrage and obstruction from the left to stop is that I believe that every day Americans will become desensitized to the BS and will continue turning against leftist ideology as its seen as stopping progress.

And I guess BLM won't be able to visit the kindergarteners like they want to either. That's the latest, they want in to our public schools to pollute the minds of kids starting at 5 years old.

Protesting is fine, blocking DeVos' entrance to the school was ill-considered. Lord knows, the woman needs as much exposure to public schools as she can get, after the fact though it is, since we're stuck with her.

Given the handful of protesters' presence, I am glad that the one vocal young man called out her massive political contributions to various powerful members of Congress (notably including Mitch McConnell). Those contributions totaled over two million dollars.

Sounds like DeVos is really going to identify with the concerns of struggling everyday Americans, right?

She did look quite distressed by the small but loud protest. She'll need a thicker skin in the days ahead, I would venture to predict.

This lack of civil order shows why Devos is so badly needed. Schools are not teaching children; it's a propaganda system.
