Politico is reporting that Betsy DeVos, who President-elect Donald Trump has named as his candidate for Secretary of Education, is accusing the media of spreading false information about her and asking people to give her a chance.

“There’s a lot of false news out there,” DeVos said on stage with Trump at a rally in her hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich. “All I ask for is an open mind and the opportunity to share my heart.”

DeVos has not worked in schools as a teacher or superintendent. Her experience has been in donating to and supporting “school choice” advocates and giving money to politicians — she is a billionaire philanthropist — who are supportive of school vouchers and charter schools.
