Trevor Noah thinks Betsy DeVos terrible performance during her confirmation hearing is a sad representation of Americas education system.

Shes going to get confirmed even though she failed everything. Every subject she got at the hearing. Failed. Failed. Failed. Failed except Donations 101, he said on Wednesdays The Daily Show.

Noah went on to say that having her as secretary of education would be like having an Amish guy as head of NASA.

And thats why I feel like this hearing was a perfect metaphor for the worst of the education system in America, Noah said. Heres a student whos clearly not proficient in the required subject matter, but because of the system, we know theyre still going to get pushed through.
