Parents Threatening to Homeschool after DeVos Announced Secretary of Education C11-3

After Senate confirmed Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, many people have threatened to homeschool their children instead of sending them to public schools. Many people are frustrated because she has no background in the public school field. In fact, in an interview in 2012, DeVos herself was an advocate for homeschooling, saying it was good the parents had the power to control their childrens education. DeVos barely got confirmed through the senate in a narrow vote, and a lot of the population are outraged she has been placed in this position, as most believe she is unqualified to serve with the right viewpoint of most American families.
