FULL TITLE: Protesters block newly-installed education secretary Betsy DeVos from entering the first school she tries to visit, forcing her to sneak in via a side entrance
New Education Secretary Betsy DeVos got turned away and blocked physically as she tried to make her first visit to a public school Friday.
DeVos, whose nomination only cleared the Senate after Vice President Mike Pence broke a tie following a contentious process, was greeted by parents, retired teachers, and a small band of aggressive protesters as she visited a middle school in southwest Washington.
She ultimately made it inside, but not before having to retreat to her government SUV while getting shouted at by protesters who stood just a few feet away from her.
Things got heated as DeVos tried to enter the building through a back door.
After being physically blocked from getting inside, she turned away and left after being angrily confronted by a protester holding a 'Black Lives Matter' sign.

Cretins.
Tom the Son said his English teacher (community college) said the Founding Fathers would be appalled that we have a Secretary of Education with no experience in the schooling industry. I thought Tom was going to bust a gasket.
No. It has to be stopped WAY before that. Has to be a way.
This must be stopped or we can say goodbye to our Demicracy. The civil war has begun, whether we know it or not..
Wait till Roe is overturned. there will be serious war then
So...they tried to block her entrance...but that isn’t going to stop her from revamping the education.
They’ve got the signs and the chants...but she (and President Trump) has the POWER.
Yes there is...conservative parents from schools she visits need to be there when she makes a house call and overwhelm the bastards!!!! Two can play the same game!!!!
In an exorcism the demon often gives the strongest physical and spiritual signs just before it is is cast back into the void; it is a deception, a last gasping desperate hope that it’s oppressor will leave it to it’s filth and evil. As these progressive spawn of evil are cast out of relevance and power, so will it be with them.
Unbelievable isn’t it??
These protesters want to keep the Secretary of Education from visiting a school. Part of the liberal screed against her is that she is too much into vouchers and private schools.
So here she wants to broaden her scope so to speak, and visit a public school. The liberals who bitch about her not having a solid commitment to public schools are pissed off that she was visiting a public school.
I just have to shake my head and mutter obscene statements about these anarchists sometimes........
The conservative parents are busy working
Any bets that a disgusted Scott Pelley will lead his hate news program with this story expressing disgust at these agitators? I didn’t think so.
Teachers Union needs to be BUSTED!!!
It’s one thing to peacefully protest. It’s quite another to stop another’s movement in any way, threaten, damage their hearing, or intimidate. When she was stopped from going her way, wherever that led to, there should have been some immediate arrests. And the people who hired them should be asking their attorneys about RICO.
You are correct, call the police, riot squad if necessary.
Any physical contact upon her by those trying to block her should be treated as an assault and arrests made.
A professor said that?? The founding fathers would be appalled that we even have a Department of Education, for heaven's sake!
Yes, that’s what Tom the Son pointed out.
It’s not a “professor” of the expensively tenured sort, just a community college English instructor. Seems to be a bat, but he’s actually teaching composition, at least some of the time, unlike the teacher Elen the Daughter got this semester.
At least we’re not paying much.
The idiot punk who blocked her then followed her to her SUV, is also on tape trying to block vehicle from leaving the property.
Where are the arrests?? This punk needs to be in jail.
I wish I were there at the time...
Betsy would have gotten in that school.
And the enemy is inside the wire, not much Trump can do but try to manage the chaos created by the left.
Prepping continues apace.
