Vicious attacks by the Left were launched from all sides. The Hollywood elite, who don\u2019t even send their kids to public schools, considered her a religious zealot who would destroy public education. Every Democrat in the Senate voted against her nomination plus two Republicans, splitting the decision. For the first time in history, Vice President Mike Pence cast the deciding vote for a Cabinet pick.<\/p>\n<p>But here are 5 reasons why DeVos is the best choice to revitalize our education system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click CONTINUE to begin the slideshow:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/634185278\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/634185278?et=UpP4javcRLNjWqRlJQ1MnQ&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=A1p_5MK8igvBfNLu3nBbMWy3aKU8oMrzrb25GJCE6_U=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>1.

Her spokesman Ed Patru says, \u201cThe interests of kids will always take priority.\u201d He said DeVos will always ask if policies have the kids\u2019 best interests in mind, or if it only benefits the education establishment.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Dwight Montgomery, head of the Memphis Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, praised DeVos when he said, \u201cShe\u2019s not African American, but she\u2019s concerned about our children.\u201d Montgomery believes DeVos is dedicated to \u201cmake sure that every child is in an environment to receive the education that is in the best interest of the child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click CONTINUE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/51139962\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.835017% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/51139962?et=GP5BsUvfRpZG48pIgr0n9w&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=vFcO-tA3d9fL2aN-BF21pKF6JReFooGqR83c5mIFqBk=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"397\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>2.

But the new education secretary believes parents deserve a choice in their child\u2019s education.<\/p>\n<p>Because the federal government doesn\u2019t always know best and because a one-size-fits-all system doesn\u2019t always work, DeVos wants to institute school vouchers and increase charter schools, that way kids can get the best education no matter where they live or how much money their parents make.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s been fighting since 2000 in expanding school choice programs across the country. DeVos and her husband helped pass Michigan\u2019s first charter school law which allowed a publicly funded school to be open to all students and give it more independence than traditional public schools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click CONTINUE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 509px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/563823239\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.601179% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/563823239?et=jQuvMJdXRvtANpcu_8xUHQ&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=CG7Yf2a7UhbBWhGFfNWmy50RohscqzIvRUoztkQ6gRg=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"509\" height=\"339\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>3.

That\u2019s why more parents are opting to teach their kids at home instead of relying on the state to do it for them. And more kids are thriving in that environment. It\u2019s something DeVos thinks is a great idea:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen more and more people opt for homeschooling, including in urban areas. What you\u2019re seeing is parents who are fed up with their lack of power to do anything about where their kids are assigned to go to school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the extent that homeschooling puts parents back in charge of their kids\u2019 education, more power to them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Click CONTINUE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 508px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/182479715\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.338583% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/182479715?et=4wunSNgHRypJzqUdh_hJSQ&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=-iwM7SQ47oatHy-UJG9qhB6Cb3jXovsZudGGX4PnrEE=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"508\" height=\"337\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>4.

Future generations need to learn the importance of respecting a variety of opinions.<\/p>\n<p>DeVos has shown her commitment to the constitutional rights of students through her donations to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) which is an organization that pushes back against the academia elite who seek to destroy individual thought. Look no further than the incident at Kellogg Community College, where students were arrested and put in jail for handing out pocket-sized copies of the Constitution and you\u2019ll see why supporting organizations like FIRE are so important. This has happened at other colleges, too. It\u2019s time the Department of Education stand for America\u2019s founding documents and come back to the right side of history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click CONTINUE for the last one:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/161014841\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 68.855219% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/161014841?et=5F_OB2NeTgREpFi5irDzSw&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=AMp0aGZMkznYk0u5iOJYbeYCJmxCLmeh1_B-C6y2IjI=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"409\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>5.
