DeVos reverses course on Special Olympics cuts after Trump orders funding

But that didn't stop her from quickly reversing herself shortly after her boss, President Donald Trump, publicly undermined her position on Thursday, telling reporters that he had"overridden" the proposed cut -- though this is the third year in a row that DeVos had included it in her annual funding request to Congress.This is what's so special about the Special Olympics"The Special Olympics will be funded.

This particular funding cut was unlikely to ever pass Congress, calling into question why the White House would make such an obvious public relations misstep.DeVos has proposed the elimination twice before and lawmakers have rejected it, appropriating $17.6 million for the Special Olympics last year as part of an overall funding increase for the department.This year, Democrats control the House, and the proposal drew an outpouring of criticism.

Trump fires everybody! Do the right thing, and put a real educator in this office.
