President-elect Donald Trump's pick to head the U.S. Department of Education is drawing fire from the left-wing Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis. When asked about Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, Lewis said:
"Don't ask me why he picked her. I don't know who put her name on the list, but she's a nightmare. I mean, it's OK, we can occupy the (Department of Education). We've done it before, and I believe in direct action and mass movement. So, it'll happen."
