Warren rips Trump's Education secretary pick ahead of confirmation hearing

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) questioned Monday whether President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Education secretary has the qualifications for the job.
“There is no precedent for an Education Department secretary nominee with your lack of experience in public education,” she wrote in a 16-page letter to Betsy DeVos, who will face the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee for a confirmation hearing this week.
“While past nominees for secretary of Education have served as teachers, school system leaders, and governors, and came to the Department of Education with deep executive experience in public education, you have held no such position,” added Warren, a member of that panel who endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over Trump, the Republican nominee.
