Politician
Dec. 18, 2018
Tweet - "Despite all of the evidence and basic common sense, @BetsyDeVosED is trying to make the case that it's not weapons of war in schools that make students unsafe, but rather the true danger is schools' attempts to fight racism and protect students' privacy. This is mind-boggling."
Sen. Patty Murray
Dec. 18, 2018
Tweet - "It's clear that @BetsyDeVosED is more interested in pandering to the NRA than listening to the students, parents, and teachers she is supposed to serve."
Sen. Patty Murray
Dec. 17, 2018
Tweet - "Make no mistake, @usedgov's move to discharge the loans for about 15,000 borrowers was good--but not good enough. I urge Sec. @BetsyDeVosED to stop padding the pockets of for-profit colleges and provide relief to students who were cheated out of their education and savings."
Sen. Patty Murray
Dec. 17, 2018
Tweet - "This is a good first step, but it's not good enough. Secretary @BetsyDeVosED must abandon her attempts to rollback the borrower defense rule and start providing relief to the more than 100,000 borrowers who were cheated out of their education and savings."

Sen. Patty Murray
Dec. 11, 2018
Tweet - "My assault occurred at an off-campus apartment down the street from my school. That means that under DeVos' rules, my school wouldn't have to investigate my case." - Sage Carson .@BetsyDeVosED's rule was clearly written to protect schools, not students & survivors. #HandsOffIX"

Sen. Patty Murray
