Trump's Education Secretary DeVos Couldn't Answer A Simple Question On Discrimination
All she had to do was say yes or no.
It was a simple question.
It's only possible to have somebody who is so anti-education, in charge of education, with a President who relies on the uneducated to get elected.
"U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, a gay Democrat from Wisconsin, grilled Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Tuesday on whether schools should be allowed to discriminate against LGBTQ students and couldn’t get a direct answer.
DeVos was testifying before a House subcommittee on education appropriations, seeking to defend a proposed budget that includes deep cuts to programs that help students with disabilities but would raise the department’s executive salaries and increase funding for charter schools.
Pocan noted that to earlier questioners, DeVos had mentioned that schools shouldn’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, and national origin, but she never mentioned sexual orientation or gender identity. “Do you think it’s all right for a school to discriminate based on someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity?”
“We have laws that cover discriminatory efforts, and our Office for Civil Rights has continued to be very diligent in investigating any allegation of discrimination and will continue to do so,” DeVos replied. Pocan remarked that that isn’t a yes or no answer, and DeVos reiterated, “We follow the law as defined.”"

Betsy DeVos Won't Say if She Opposes Anti-LGBTQ Discrimination
I know why.
You don't have to tell me, because I know why.
We all know why.
It's because she's a homophobe!
Maybe she's Gay curious...

I don't blame her. You guys are busy searching for thought crimes and have retaliated against people who don't believe the same as you.

That's not what I meant, shit-for-brains. You guys get violent or marginalize people because of their beliefs.

Hello TOP,
I'm sure if DeVos wasn't ashamed of her answer she would be proud to give it. I think it's a fair question. She knows a truthful yes answer would be very unpopular. So she obfuscates.

RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.
Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.

The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

All she had to do was simply say "Yes," or "No."
They are very simple words.
She should be able to understand them and use them, as the Education Secretary.
