DeVos made the comment during the inaugural Moms for Liberty summit in Florida over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Moms for Liberty\u00a0is a conservative nonprofit founded in Florida that\u00a0advocates for parents to have more influence over public school decisions. The organization first received national attention when it fought against mask mandates in schools and later when it opposed curriculum related to LGBTQ rights, race and discrimination.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere are a lot of really nice and well-meaning people there,\u201d DeVos voiced. \u201cI don\u2019t mean to disparage them in any way, but they are definitely oriented around being in their roles for probably most of their careers, if not all of them.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2026 says the guy who needlessly kept schools closed for nearly two years, because the union bosses made him.<\/p>\n<p>Putting parents in charge of education decisions wouldn&#8217;t &#8220;destroy&#8221; public education.

During an event organized by the American Institute Enterprise last month, DeVos described dealing with an agency full of career bureaucrats.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cReally for any of the creative reforms that we advanced we really had to essentially work around most of the career staff,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause there were very few who would actually get the work done that needed to be done or would present options that weren\u2019t even close to what we were attempting to do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Former Secretary of Education <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BetsyDeVos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BetsyDeVos<\/a> tells me she had a plan to ABOLISH the Department of Education and return the power to parents, but Congress wasn&#8217;t interested: &#8220;Bottom line, there was no action taken.

During her tenure, DeVos controversially worked to reduce her department\u2019s authority over schools. She introduced cuts to federal education spending\u00a0and\u00a0rolling back federal guidelines\u00a0in favor of letting states and local districts decide their own policy.<\/p>\n<p>Her comments come after Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) introduced a bill to abolish the agency back in 2021.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/dr-birx-claims-much-of-her-covid-guidance-was-arbitrary\/\">Dr. Birx Claims Much Of Her Covid Guidance Was Arbitrary<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 MARCH 28: U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos testifies during a Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Subcommittee discussing proposed budget estimates and justification for FY2020 for the Education Department on March 28, 2019 in Washington, DC.
