Imagine if Charles Koch was a conservative Christian who believed he was fighting something akin to a religious war. Now imagine he’s been given a cabinet position. That’s Betsy DeVos.

DeVos, who had her confirmation hearing for education secretary earlier this week, is preparing to step into the position that will give her immense power over the facet of American life she’s dedicated herself (and much of her billions in wealth) to more than anything else: education. DeVos has spent a lifetime spending untold amounts of money to influence education policy in the United States; if she is confirmed as education secretary, for the first time, she’ll be able to do so for free.
