Y’all, we all know the Department of Education under Betsy DeVos ain’t shit. The RC Cola version of Dolores Umbridge has decided that nine months into the pandemic and one month before she’s out of a job is the perfect time to start processing discrimination cases related to COVID.
According to HuffPost, the department’s Office for Civil Rights has finally begun processing discrimination complaints related to the ongoing pandemic. Attorneys in the office told HuffPost in November that they’ve not been allowed to pursue these cases for the entirety of the pandemic. A spokesperson for the department told HuffPost that those attorneys were lying-ass liars who didn’t know what they’re talking about.

“This information is categorically false and represents the viewpoint of a low-level employee who has not been fully informed or brought up to speed on the clear directive given by HQ to move forward on all COVID cases without delay,” spokesperson Angela Morabito told HuffPost in early November.
Ah, yes, “low-level employee.” What class.
Morabito’s statement, like most statements from the Trump administration, was undermined by some simple facts. A email HuffPost obtained from a regional manager within the department said that “discrimination complaints related to COVID-19” would need to be overseen by “the highest levels of management.”
