This rhetoric–that issue has two sides, that schools must take due process seriously–is unprecedented for a Dem officeholder since 2011. pic.twitter.com/X47VTRsBVi

Unlikely (at least not to the degree of the meltdown against DeVos), but stay tuned.
I'm utterly shocked this happened. Good for him full stop. https://t.co/PTedZH7y4O
