I was delighted to see that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was soundly booed during her commencement address this Wednesday at the Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida. I don't think these African-American students owe this privileged harridan one iota of respect considering that she is an unqualified naif who purchased this position with donations to Donald Trump. In addition she is hardly a supporter of better education, and is too eager to promote charter schools and religious educators, thus shredding the Constitutional separation of church and state. The unprepared and wildly wealthy Ms Devos has admitted in the past that she feels the millions she and her family have spent on the Republican party entitle them to influence. Obviously Donald Trump agreed in giving her this position. Obviously America disagreed since she has not been received anywhere with admiration and respect. Her address in Daytona Beach is just the latest example of the disdain in which she is held. While she is well educated, many late night comics deliver jokes that suggest she is less than an intellect, and while these jokes are shockingly disrespectful, they are also hilarious.
