Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said she found attacks against her record in protecting student civil rights “hurtful.”

It’s “hurtful to me when I’m criticized for not upholding the rights of students, the civil rights of students,” DeVos said in a wide-ranging conversation with reporters Wednesday, per Politico. “I have to turn it back around and say why do I keep getting criticized for that? I mean nothing that I’ve done would suggest otherwise.”
