Former Vice President Joe Biden pledged Friday that if elected president he will nominate a public school teacher for education secretary.
"First thing, as president of United States -- not a joke -- first thing I will do is make sure that the secretary of education is not Betsy DeVos, it is a teacher," the Democratic presidential front-runner said, to cheers and loud applause, at a National Education Association forum for presidential candidates in Houston. "A teacher. Promise."
