Biden Education nominee touted diversity speaker who claimed schools 'spirit murder' Black children

One of President-elect Biden's top Education Department nominees hosted a diversity training during which she gave an "extremely complimentary" introduction to its featured speaker, who has accused public schools of "spirit murdering" of Black children.

That attendee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Fox News that Love was introduced by Marten, who, they said, offered "glowing" remarks about Love. School board resident Richard Barerra similarly told Fox News on Tuesday that Marten's introduction was "extremely complimentary." As deputy secretary, Marten would have significant power over the federal department responsible for regulating the nation's public schools. She would also serve as acting secretary in the secretary's absence.
