Betsy DeVos: “Congresswoman DeLauro, I believe we have a crisis of violence in our country, yes.”

There are way too many families that don't have that choice and we continue to consign them in too many cases to schools that do not work for them.

My focus is and always will be on students and on helping all students get a great education through an equal opportunity.

I do not think it is a role of the Federal Department of Education to tell schools what they can and should do or cannot and should not do.

I think a school is a sacrosanct place for students to be able to learn, and they should be protected there.
