DETROIT – The message on a truck scheduled to travel around Michigan this week directly attacks US Secretary of Education, Betsy Devos. The billboard features three LED screens and is making its way to cities across the country including Detroit. “She said she’s been doing puzzles and riding her bike this summer, well that doesn’t help our kids when schools don’t have what they need, schools don’t get what they should,” Offen said. The billboard tour follows comments from Devos last month claiming kids don’t contract coronavirus. The billboard has already left Detroit and is on its way to Lansing.
