Protesters initially block DeVos from entering DC school [Video]
Fox News ^

Protesters initially blocked newly confirmed Education Secretary Betsy DeVos from entering a Washington, D.C., school on Friday – with one “Black Lives Matter” demonstrator even briefly standing in front of her vehicle.

DeVos later made it into Jefferson Middle School Academy in Southwest D.C. for her first visit as secretary to a public school. This was only after a teacher/parent “vigil” blocked the road by the front entrance, and a handful of Black Lives Matter protesters caused problems when DeVos tried to enter through the back entrance.

Protesters shouted “shame, shame” at the secretary as she was led back into her vehicle. One holding a Black Lives Matter sign then stood in front of the van, but was scolded by fellow protesters to “let her leave,” and he stepped aside.

White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway tweeted afterward: "Don't we want the Sec of Education to visit schools?"

“Wonder what type of activities are and are not statutorily allowed on DC school property.

“...my thoughts as well. SO apparently you can be on school property and protest without fear...good to know.

President Trump should shut down the Dep’t. of Education and let the the states handle the education of students.

Not a big deal. CNN had a better video. Two men blocked the stairway DeVos was trying to use. Fox says there may have been half a dozen protestors. Maybe, but in addition to the two men, the Fox video only shows one additional protester, a woman holding a sign. There were also several reporters. So: perhaps as few as three, perhaps a few more.

They blocked a door. DeVos may have just gone around to a different entrance. That's not clear.

These snowflake bastards claim that they have no money to payback their “student” loans and yet they can travel all over the country to riot and “protest” with an overpriced “smart phone” in one hand and an overpriced cup of Starbucks in the other. I don’t get it.

You are correct, and it will end in blood. And when the conflict they are instigating finally erupts they should share in the harvest of the whirlwind.

We didn't allow Democrats to block the school house doors in 1963.. I see no reason why we should allow them to stand in the schoolhouse doors in 2017

Someone in the White House should Tweet that! Watch the libs' heads explode.

I was watching these idiots on Periscope this morning. Actually one of the protesters was in the street and a car pulled up and stopped on his foot. After he freed his foot, he was taken away in bracelets. I watched for a few minutes and saw two arrested.

But, but these are educators who are “professionals” and want to be treated as such! Yet they behave like union thugs. And they are so insecure and wonder why people look down on them in many cases. It is their very own selfish behavior. If it was about the kids as they like to say then why are they so willing to try something different to see if it works? Selfish, money hungry union thugs is why.

BLM and the Democrats don’t want people educated because they would know how evil they are. So they block access to schools now. Leftism at its true nature.
