Devos Thought Black Students Were Stupid

Education secretary Betsy De Vos suggested black students didn’t have the capacity to understand her agenda, according to the new tell-all book from former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman.

In another cutting suggestion that members of the Trump administration—including President Donald Trump himself—are racist, Manigault Newman hit out at the education secretary over comments she allegedly made after being booed at a historically black college.

Manigault Newman was with DeVos when she traveled to Florida's Bethune-Cookman University to give a speech in May—but her presence didn’t go down well, and she was given a frosty reception by attendees.
