I’m really not sure who thought it would be a good idea for Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to give at commencement speech at a HBCU BUT someone hired her to do so at HBCU Bethune-Cookman University and guess what… it didn’t go down so well!

From the get go DeVos was drowned out by Boos as she tried to giver her speech.

She started…

“Dr. Jackson, Board of Trustees, thank you so very, very much for this great honor and privilege,”

Boos started rising….

“I am honored to become a Wildcat,”

“It’s a real honor and privilege to be with you as we celebrate the Bethune-Cookman class of 2017,”

Students would not face her, students were warned that degrees would be mailed to them if they continued….
