A portion of the protesters at the women’s marches across the country on Saturday made it clear that they found Betsy DeVos unbearable.
Signs referencing President Trump’s nominee for education secretary were scattered throughout the protests — and grizzly bear puns abounded, in reference to remarks DeVos made during her confirmation hearing about the need to protect students from bears.
DeVos, a philanthropist and school-choice champion, also appeared confused about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, inspiring another round of signs. She faces a Senate committee vote on Jan. 31.
Here are some of the education and DeVos-focused posters:

Outside of the predictable Trump/Pence signs and one Paul Ryan sign I saw, the main DC signs were devoted to DeVos. #WomensMarch #DumpDevos pic.twitter.com/ITNGAPIlBh
