Angry activists shouted “stand up, fight back” and one protester was arrested, as Betsy DeVos made her first visit to a public school Friday as education secretary.
Several dozen protesters, some with small children, gathered at Jefferson Middle School, a predominantly African-American school in the nation’s capital. At one point, when DeVos tried to enter the school, two protesters blocked her path, forcing her to return to her car. D.C. police said one man was detained for assaulting a police officer.
