Donald Trump and his administration are disproving the theory that there can be no such thing as a funny trainwreck, for trainwreck is the quintessential term to describe Trump and his Cabinet, and for as sad as it may sound, they've unintentionally kept me laughing uproariously along the way. The latest such step centers around Betsy DeVos and the Education Department. DeVos, an individual with less experience in education than Danny DeVito has in professional basketball, is the new Secretary of Education, and let's just say she and the rest of the department are off to a rocky start.
In attempting to celebrate Black History Month, the Department of Education tweeted this about NAACP co-founder W.E.B. Du Bois:
"Education must not simply teach work - it must teach life. - W.E.B. DeBois"
That's right; the Department of Education misspelled W.E.B. Du Bois' name. After being on the receiving end of the inevitable backlash, the Department of Education tweeted this:
"Post updated - our deepest apologizes for the earlier typo."
Seriously? The Department of Education apologizes for a typo with another typo? Given the department's lack of spelling skills, expect another attempt at an apology, this time in letter form. It will probably say something like this:
"Let's try this again. We here at the Dip Partment of Education would like to sincerely apology to members of the block community. W.E.B. 2 Boys was a great liter, one we'll always respect. We need to continue to look to such litres for guy-dunce and inspiration. Not only Mr. 2 Boys, but also to people like Mal Comb X, Henryetta Tubman, Martin Luthern Key, and Rosa Perks, There's a reason why we celebrate Block History Month in Febuary. Its the shortest month. I mean, its the month of love. The blocks were once sleighves, but fought long and hard to ern equal rights and deserve are utmost respect. So, once again, we hear at the Dip Partment of Education would like to sincerely apology to members of the block community. We hope you can furgive us."
