Deeply unqualified Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was physically blocked by protesters at the entrance to\u00a0a DC school.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe does not represent anything that they stand for,\u201d yelled one protester.<\/p>\n
Another shouted: \u201cShe\u2019s giving money to senators and buying her way into the position. You should be so proud of yourself. Go back! Shame! Shame! Shame!\u201d<\/p>\n

DeVos eventually got inside.<\/p>\n
The Washington Post<\/em> has more<\/a>:<\/p>\n
The demonstration was a sign that DeVos, who took office this week, remains a polarizing figure for many of the parents and teachers she seeks to serve.<\/p>\n
DeVos was at the Jefferson Middle School Academy in Southwest Washington at about 10 a.m., according to two people who said they shook her hand inside the building. The event was closed to the media. It was her first visit to a public K-12 school since she was sworn in Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Shortly after 10 a.m., several dozen members of the Washington Teachers Union, parents and other activists had gathered in front of the school.<\/p>\n
