Graduates booed Education Secretary Besty DeVos as she delivered the commencement speech at Bethune-Cookman University Wednesday. Many students turned their backs toward DeVos to protest her appearance at the historically-black college. Students grew so angry during the speech that the school President Edison Jackson interrupted DeVos' remarks to warn students. "If this behavior continues, your degrees will be mailed to you. Choose which way you want to go," Jackson.
