Betsy DeVos writes in Opinions: 'It’s time we balance the scales of justice in our schools'

Why are you giving this goul a platform?

DeVos should be more concerned about removing Socialist propaganda from schools.

Proof no amount of money can buy brains or class.

Yes, I agree. Do not finance private business enterprises(charter schools) or unqualified home school teachers with public education money!

Maybe we should get someone else to run this department, maybe someone that actually went to a public school or public university?

Simple, a sickening attempt was made to corrupt due process, using Title 9. Betsy DeVos said no. This is not what American Justice looks like. Thank you Madam Sec.

So does BetsyDeVosED have some unknown male progeny in college now that is facing a sexual-assault allegation? The scales have never been tilted *away* from the boys.

Hey ? Giving a platform and voice to corrupt, malicious idiots like Devos is not “balance.” There’s no balance between sense and nonsense.

Oh please, the Washington Post is talking about balance, is it 1 April over there

Just be patient. This whole Admin will be gone in 2 years! Thankfully we will get normal back then.....

This incompetent poser had got to go!

One more proof that conservatives do not believe in education!

Yes, we need to believe and protect women!

BetsyDeVosED I suggest anyone who is assaulted at a school go directly to a hospital to ensure any evidence is collected and then contact their family or a friend. That school is not going to be in your corner - especially if they are anything like DeVos and Trump.

By getting rid of Betsy F-ing DeVos!!!

Oh man, who brainwashed her? Oh, right, a man.

DeVos has no idea of what she speaks

It’s truly embarrassing when someone has to mansplain patriarchy.

It's about time, title IX flat out steps all over due process. I suspect that is why the democrats are fighting so hard to keep it in place.

Agree. Let’s get rid of her. She doesn’t belong in charge of anything

The washington compost fondle me with their stupid, I was a helpless victim to their false advances

Why is justice being run by schools

This is Brock Turner’s dad. Jim Jordan protected a wrestling coach rapist. Republicans want unsafe schools for women in an effort to dissuade them from enrolling in college.

Why are you giving her a platform, ?

I'll pass on the propaganda

Please dont publish propaganda.

Our schools are being corrupted by radical liberals.

Attempted Rape Victims, Rape Victims remember attacker but not when, where because of PTSD 2006 - Serial Rapists/Murderers able rape, murder in many states because rape kits not tested, destroyed. FBI needs to be more involved investigations of rape

Please convert your opinion editor to hot dogs

Finally, someone fighting for the rights of rapists! Naturally it would be a Republican woman

Gotta say, I'm beginning to respect Betsy DeVos.

DueProcessMatters

Betsy DeVos helps rapists. Knows *nothing* about education, but A++ for being a genuinely evil grifter.

I agree... but we probably don't see this the same way

DeVos has shown no ability or intention to do that! Quite the opposite. Does she know anything about the reality of that subject?

Betsy sez- 'Make America more rapey.'

That’s funny I was thinking it was time we had someone qualified to be the head of education. But what do teachers know?!?!

Yea those victims sure had too much power Betsy

So much for “democracy dies in darkness”.

She is sick

. How is it balanced when you're putting your thumb on the scales in favor of the accused?

NO. It’s time that victims of sexual assault in our schools go immediately to law enforcement, have the abusers arrested, charged and tried. If convicted, they should be meaningfully sentenced. Enough of this crap. DeVos and schools are not equipped to balance these scales.

She have a son accused of something?

In other words: “It’s time for us to make students easier targets for scam artists like me!”

Making is harder if not impossible for victims to come forward & feel safe makes nothing balanced.

Thankful she's righting this wrong.

It is time she went away

Ladies, sorority sisters MeToo stand up for each other and look out for each other.

Wow. Betsy DeVos is for affirmative action! Who knew?

Hey BetsyDeVos how about you jump off a short pier and let’s see true balance? Spare us your bs!

Lmao y’all going to give Trump an op-Ed next?

Guillotine

'Let's go ahead and give an op-ed line to a government official that is working towards making colleges less safe for victims of assault. Both sides!'

You know, the NYT opinion page isn't exactly something to be imitated.

Guess we've forgotten that Betsy DeVos is a mega-donor that was installed as part of Trump's oligarchy to ruin America?

In this instance she is not wrong. After the whole 'Jackie' travesty of Rolling Stone directed at UVA. People-accused of any crime-have the right to face and question the accused. The Michigan Ruling by 6th Circuit supports actual law not Obama policy that skirts the law.

'The Trump administration' and 'fair' don't belong in the same sentence. But beyond a reflex reaction, one wonders why Ms. DeVos's goal is for more rapes to go unpunished.

Huh?

Our boys in college are being well served by Secretary DeVos. Good for her.

DeVos wouldn't know a balanced scale if you wrapped a blindfold around her head, dipped her in marble, and propped her on top of a court house.

WTF...

In favor of the sexual assaulters?

Another deplorable shooting off her mouth while reversing all progress made by society for financial reward.

🖕🏽🖕🏽devos

Why did you publish this bullshit

Shut up.

Exactly what does that mean?

this is gonna get ratio'd

Who let her write an opinion piece?!

gotta make it easier for the rapists

Fuck. Off.
