Two days into her tenure as secretary of education, Betsy DeVos was blocked by protesters from entering a public school in Washington, DC, on Friday morning. After a man threw himself in front of a staircase leading into the school, DeVos was forced return to her car, a small number of protesters chasing after her. One held a “Black Lives Matter” sign and chanted repeatedly, “Shame!” DC police said that they arrested one man at the protest for allegedly assaulting an officer. Police are investigating allegations that DeVos was assaulted, as well, a police department spokesperson added.
