Betsy DeVos  encouraged a group of students in Philadelphia to not say “nasty” things on Twitter during a town hall meeting, leading one student to ask her why the Donald Trump does not follow that same advice.

“Learning is about thinking, reasoned argument and discovering facts,” she said. “If there is no objective truth, then there is no real learning.”

Ms DeVos then advised students to approach others with respect and to not hide behind Twitter handles and “be nasty”.

Kaileigh Murphy, a 21-year-old college student, told Ms DeVos that President Trump does not appear to follow that same advice during a question-and-answer session of the town hall.

“It is easy to be nasty hiding behind screens and Twitter handles,” she said. “It’s not so easy face to face.”

Last spring, First Lady Melania Trump was  widely criticised  after the launch of her “Be Best” campaign, an initiative that in part focuses on social media use and online bullying.

Melania Trump was criticized because less that forty-five minutes after her "Be Best" Campaign was launched, her husband cut hundreds of millions from CHIP and Education Funding and The First Lady said nothing.

Although I still wonder what The First Lady's 'I Really Don't Care---Do You' jacket was all about.  That was strange.  And now, it is as if it never happened.

Uh, Betsy DeVos?  Really?  Why was she there?    She does not care.  Her soul is with the Big banks.

How can anyone talk about Betsy DeVos without being nasty?
