Former Education Sec. Betsy DeVos slams DOJ's 'shameless' attempt to 'intimidate parents into silence'
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: Former Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is criticizing the Department of Justice's (DOJ) recent decision to investigate potential acts of violence against school boards, saying it's a “shameless” attempt to silence parents who are invested in their children's education.
"This memo is a shameless attempt to intimidate parents into silence and to continue to limit their control of their children’s education," said DeVos in an exclusive statement to Fox News.
"We should of course take real threats seriously, but that’s what local police exist to solve. You would hope the Department of Justice would be more concerned about the real civil rights concerns involving indoctrinating students with false, race-based narratives or the learning loss caused by unnecessary school closures. But this is yet another example of the Biden Administration being more focused on keeping the union bosses happy than putting America’s students first."
