Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) knows that a lot of people are very upset with the recent confirmation of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. He also would really like for people to calm down.
In a thread of tweets on Twitter, Scott assured constituents that DeVos has absolutely no way to destroy the public education system in the United States, nor would she want to.
I am thankful for all the calls, for the passion we’ve seen about education policy for the past two weeks.

We need strong public schools, as well as strong options for parents to choose the best option for their kids.

The fact remains no Secretary of Education has the power to “destroy public schools” - and no one would.

Let’s be clear-there are 1000s of low performing schools across this nation. You can hold the floor forever…but it won’t change that fact
