Secretary of Education Betsy Devos is in a position of being over 65,800,000 million children in America which that takes up more than 21% of America’s population. Her family comes from a deep history of business owners and philanthropy. Her family is worth $5.1 Billion. Her father-in-law, Richard DeVos, owns the NBA team, The Orlando Magic, and is also a co-founder of the company, Amway. Her father also invented the “Lighted Sun Visor” design that is in many automobiles today. In addition, she and her husband created the Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation. Together they have blessed many organizations and programs. “Based on the model our parents taught us, we seek to serve as faithful stewards, supporting organizations and programs that focus on community, education, the arts, justice, and leadership.” Currently in America our education system is over 200 years old and people wonder why our children are not able to make the scores they should. Secretary Devos could do anything she wanted to do but she chose to serve our country and to help our children, so they get the education that they need to succeed in life. As she shared at CPAC, “You may have heard the wonderful things the media has called me lately. I however, pride myself on being called a mother, a grandmother, a life partner of 38 years…My job isn’t to win a popularity contest with the media or the education establishment here in Washington. My job as Secretary of Education is to work for students.” We are so thankful for Secretary Devos and that she has chosen to be here for our children and to help better their education.
