On Thursday, Democratic Representative Katherine Clark slammed Education Secretary Betsy DeVos at the President's 2021 Education Budget Request hearing, telling DeVos that she 'should resign.'
In 2019, Clark called for DeVos' resignation, saying that the secretary used"racist research" as justification to remove school discipline regulations formed under former President Barack Obama's administration.
"What Betsy DeVos did that I object to and find disgusting is she rescinded civil rights policy and cherry-picked racist research to back it up," Clark said in 2019 while appearing on MSNBC."What she did was roll back Obama-era protections for children of color who we know are disciplined at far greater rates than their white peers. And she backed it up with research that says this isn't because of institutional racism, this isn't because of any of that.
The study that Clark was citing in 2019, which DeVos used, argues that the higher discipline rates between white and black students is"likely produced by pre-existing behavioral problems of youth that are imported into the classroom, that cause classroom disruptions, and that trigger disciplinary measures by teachers and school officials."
In addition to Clark telling DeVos to resign from her position as education secretary, she also received criticism from Democratic Representative Mark Pocan.report that talked about charter schools receiving money from the federal government, with Pocan noting"40 percent," of charter schools that DeVos is giving grants to"are closing down."
"That is not true, that has been a totally debunked report, it was nothing but propaganda," DeVos said in response to Pocan's comment.BETSY DeVOS: That's a totally debunked report. It's just propagandaP: You're the secretary of education!
