Their DeVos is showing:
Look, spelling is sometimes hard and we all blow it from time to time. But god damn, Department of Education, get your shit together. The other countries can SEE YOU.
The department, which was assumed last week by the vastly unqualified Betsy DeVos, made a tweet on Sunday morning that misspelled the name of the civil rights activist, writer, sociologist and historian W.E.B. Du Bois. Yes, mistakes happen, but when your administration is already under fire for openly reviling people of color, perhaps you want to really double check the hell out of the vowel-laden names of the prominent historical figures you’re quoting.
Then the department tried to apologize. I say “tried,” because then…they effed up the apology tweet. It’s since been deleted, but not before it was documented by the Washington Post
