Dr. Jill Biden criticized U.S Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos‘ stance on safely reopening schools as she insisted there appears to be “no strategy” to successfully do so.
On Wednesday, Biden appeared on CNN’s “New Day” where she expressed concern that DeVos and President Donald Trump lack preparation for the reopening of schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.
From the perspective of a teacher and mother, Biden weighed in as she admitted that it does not come as a surprise to her that proper plans were not in place.
“No, it doesn’t surprise me ,” Biden told CNN host Bianna Golodryga. “I don’t think she ever felt invested in America’s public schools.”
Biden continued, “She didn’t have a strategy, Trump didn’t have a strategy.”
“There’s so many things that Joe already has planned to do and that includes replacing the secretary of Education with somebody who has been in the public schools, knows what it’s like to be a public school educator as I was, and listens to the teachers.”
