Betsy DeVos, who famously didn’t know what was in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act during her confirmation hearing as education secretary, suggested Tuesday that another major federal education law should be repealed and replaced:
"We are advancing and growing as a people at an unbelievable rate. But the public policy that guides education has only inched along," Ms. DeVos told the audience of university leaders. "Consider the Higher Education Act, or HEA. This 50-year-old law still governs and defines much of what you can — and cannot — do to educate the students you serve."
"For me, and I suspect for most Americans, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to simply amend a 50-year-old law," she continued. "Adding to a half-century patchwork will not lead to meaningful reform. Real change is needed."
Oh, my. Fifty years old and amended repeatedly. It must be obsolete, and not, say, a basic framework that remains relevant and has been changed and added to as needed over the years.
Just wait until someone tells her about the Constitution. That’s more than 200 years old and it’s been amended 17 times!
