JOHN STOSSEL: Why The Left Hates Betsy DeVos.

People hate Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

When she spoke at the Kennedy School of Government, students held up signs calling her a “white supremacist.”

When she tried to visit a school, activists physically blocked her way.

The haters claim DeVos knows little about education, only got her job because she gave money to Republican politicians, and hates free public education.

Of course, education isn’t really “free.”

Taxpayers spend $634 billion a year on it. It’s laughable that activists claim conservatives “cut” education spending. Funds per student tripled over the past several decades, while test scores stayed flat.

Some of that failure is because of what DeVos really opposes: government’s education bureaucracy.

Education is one of the Long March’s biggest fiefdoms. They won’t give it up without a fight.
