'She has been a great partner in helping grow Be Best message within our schools,” Trump said of DeVos.
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has a friend in first lady Melania Trump. On Monday, Trump praised DeVos, whose controversial policies have drawn criticism on many fronts, for providing support for her Be Best initiative aimed at helping children.
“Mrs. Trump, I am so pleased that your Be Best initiative aims to prepare our youth for the many physical and emotional challenges they face daily,” DeVos continued. “Values like kindness, determination, respect and positive behaviors online and in person all underpin a life well lived.” “Thank you very much, very important work what you do, school to school, and I hope that we achieve in every state at least one school, if not more, that they have those programs and we will work very hard on it,” Trump said. “So thank you very much, Secretary DeVos.”
At the time, Democratic Representative Katherine Clark grilled DeVos on public school alternatives like charter and private schools, and whether their admissions processes discriminate against minorities.
