I have collected a variety of media sources covering the hearing of Betsy DeVos for US Secretary of Education. Is she qualified? I’ll begin with source material from the hearing. Then, I will include some of the critiques of her answers— including my conversation on yesterday’s Jeff Santos Show.
First, Kaine v. DeVos

Translation: Charters and private schools can have less accountability than public schools?
Franken v. DeVos
https://twitter.com/ProfessorJVH/status/821591234951213057
Translation: This is a distinction that Betsy should be well aware of… but isn’t.
Murphy v. DeVos
Translation: Grizzlies!?
Warren v. DeVos
Translation: For-profit universities like the Corinthians colleges and Trump University have been highly problematic for taxpayers and those who “chose” them.
Bernie v. DeVos
Translation: Yes, the millions got you here.
Now for some of the critiques.
