Education Secretary Betsy DeVos visits Detroit charter school
DETROIT - Betsy DeVos visited a Detroit charter school Thursday and was greeted with protests. DeVos, the longest-serving member of President Donald Trump's cabinet, was in Detroit pushing a controversial plan. DeVos -- a strong believer in the charter school system -- visited Detroit Edison Public School Academy on Wilkins Street. It's a charter school authorized by Oakland University. "There are many other states that have programs that empower families to make choices, whether it's a faith-based school or a virtual school," DeVos said.
