Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos headlined a gathering of right-wing education activists who are seeking to reshape the US education system to fit conservative values over the weekend – and she declared her support for abolishing her former agency entirely.
Ms DeVos, who once was put in charge of thousands of Department of Education employees who manage crucial functions of the US education system and provide critical oversight of schools at the federal level, said on Saturday that she would get rid of the entire department if she had the power to do so.
