From coronavirus lockdowns to critical race theory in the classroom, it has become crystal clear that America’s schools aren’t working for America’s students and parents. No one knows this better than Betsy DeVos.
Long before she was tapped by President Trump to serve as secretary of education, DeVos established herself as one of the country’s most influential advocates for education reform, from school choice and charter schools to protecting free speech on campus. She’s unflinching in standing up to the powerful interests who control and benefit from the status quo in education – which is why the unions, the media, and the radical left made her public enemy number one.
Now, DeVos is ready to tell her side of the story after years of being vilified by the radical left for championing common-sense, conservative reforms in America’s schools.
In Hostages No More, DeVos unleashes her candid thoughts about working in the Trump administration, recounts her battles over the decades to put students first, hits back at “woke” curricula in our schools, and details the reforms America must pursue to fix its long and badly broken education system. And she has stories to tell: DeVos offers blunt insights on the people and politics that stand in the way of fixing our schools.
For students, families and concerned citizens, DeVos shares a roadmap for reclaiming education and securing the futures of our kids – and America.

With the technology, growth, and innovation that we have in this county, why is it the American child is getting further, and further behind? If the “public” education system wants to see the next generation flourish… then why aren’t they teaching!! It’s indoctrination, compliance, and in my opinion crap!! I personally love this book. Betsy not only speaks about her life journey in education being professional and personal… but she is honest and gives in site on other options that has been suppressed by society, media, tech and even our government. This book is a wonderful eye opener to every child and parent. No matter if your red, blue, conservative, democratic or what ever other label society wants to put u in. Know your options and follow the signs. This book is truly an eye opener!! I loved it and suggest all parents “educate” their selves. May God Bless future generations
The Truth….
…about public education and it’s strangle hold on the development of kids. This is a must read for parents of school age children. Public education is no longer about educating kids, it is about power and money for the elite. The current system continues to enslave the poor and oppressed. It is time for change! Thank you Betsy DeVos for your commitment to this cause and your leadership.
Propaganda
Republican propaganda to eliminate public schools, further entrench the rich on the right and push the middle class further down while the wealthy Republicans laugh all the way to the bank (and their multiple mansions).
