DETROIT — As public schools grapple with the challenge of reopening during a pandemic, public education advocates are criticizing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for working remotely from Michigan, where she owns a sprawling waterfront estate with a round-the-clock security detail paid for by taxpayers.

And while keeping herself largely physically distanced as the coronavirus continues to spread, DeVos has been a forceful advocate for President Donald Trump's demand that schools reopen in full and in person — potentially placing millions of teachers and students at risk of infection.

It's a striking bit of mixed messaging for DeVos, a billionaire heiress, major GOP donor and charter school advocate who had no experience with public education before she became education secretary. DeVos is the nation's top education official as school administrators deal with one the biggest health crises facing the nation: how to safely bring 51 million American children back into classrooms or administer virtual education during a pandemic.

Questions persist as to why DeVos requires full-time protection from the U.S. Marshals Service, which NBC News reported she began receiving shortly after she was confirmed — the only Cabinet official with such an arrangement. In all, her security detail has cost taxpayers at least $25 million, NBC News has learned.

1. Typical billionaire hypocrite and grifter

She and her criminal family probably have so many enemies that she would have security anyway. This just gets someone else to pay.

And like all the lying assholes on Fox, she stays home while expecting the peasants to go out and make her money.

2. Ah,

DeVos is absent even when she's present on these matters. She could give a rat's turd about the safety issues.

This is another Trump appointment for the locust movement. Her interest is to destroy our education system and privatize. Nothing else matters and she is doing the job she was appointed to do by a confidence man who conspires to destroy this country.
