Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said in a new interview that she is working hard to hand states more power in determining education policies and rules, and she also wants to make sure students in grade school and college are learning civics and government.
“Students aren’t getting the kind of foundation in civics and government that I recall getting. They’re coming into higher education without the background to even know and understand competing ideas and then without the ability to discuss and debate them,” she said in a podcast interview.
