Betsy DeVos vowed to change American education. For the most part, she didn’t.

Back in January 2017, Betsy DeVos, then President Donald Trump’s nominee for education secretary, told lawmakers at her confirmation hearing that the threat of grizzly bears in Wyoming justified the national push to equip schools with guns. She was responding to a question from Sen. Chris Murphy, of Connecticut, who’d made gun control a priority after the 2012 massacre of schoolchildren in Sandy Hook.

DeVos’s gaffe, which garnered a slew of memes and a spoof on “Saturday Night Live,” became a metaphor for her tenure as education secretary. It also contributed to her status as the most unpopular member of Trump’s already-controversial cabinet. DeVos won confirmation by a literal hair, after all, thanks to Vice President Mike Pence’s tie-breaking vote.

DeVos, a conservative billionaire philanthropist, went on to clinch her unpopularity with her advocacy for school choice. In her view, public education money should follow students to whatever learning model their parents prefer – whether it’s a traditional public school, a charter school, a private school or a home school.

Overall, however, DeVos didn’t accomplish much of her school-choice agenda. Her hallmark “education freedom” campaign, which sought to create a national private-school voucher program, didn’t come to fruition. Congress repeatedly killed that proposal, which in its latest iteration sought to allocate $5 billion toward tax-credit scholarships for private school.

“If we fast-forward 10 years and look back at this period, we’re not going to see much,” said Dale Chu, a senior visiting fellow at the Fordham Institute, a right-leaning education think tank.

DeVos did convince Congress to expand 529 plans, enabling the state-sponsored college savings accounts to cover private-school tuition. She got lawmakers to reauthorize a program providing private-school vouchers to students in Washington, D.C., too.
