“Your history of support for policies that would drain valuable taxpayer resources from our public schools and funnel those funds to unaccountable private and for-profit education operators may well disqualify you from such a central role in public education,” Warren wrote.

Warren also criticized what she said was DeVos’ “paper-thin record on higher education and student debt.”

“You have no record or stated position on these higher education issues,” Warren wrote. “In fact the very policies you have spent decades advocating for in elementary and secondary education — more free taxpayer money for private and for-profit education operators with virtually no strings attached — are the exact policies that have caused so many problems and harmed so many students in higher education.”

DeVos, a former Michigan Republican Party chairwoman, leads the American Federation for Children, which along with its state-affiliated PACs contributed to 121 races in 12 states in the general election to support pro-school choice candidates, according to its website.

1. Please, Senator Warren, nail Ms. DeVos like you nailed Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf

2. "Troubled?" We better get plainer and more direct language than that.

OUTRAGED is what I want to hear from Warren and others.
