DeVos booed delivering Bethune-Cookman address

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was nearly drowned out by boos, catcalls and scattered applause as she delivered the commencement speech at historically black Bethune-Cookman University in Florida.

Many of the graduating students turned their back on DeVos, who has offended many African-Americans by invoking the colleges created in response to racist laws as a great example of school choice.

DeVos said the Trump administration is fully committed to the students' success.
