Petition Calls for Lebron James to Replace Education Secretary Betsy Devos It appears some people would rather see the NBA star go to Washington, D.C. than become a Los Angeles Laker. Over 12,000 have signed a petition calling for James to replace Betsy DeVos as
U.S. Education Secretary. The petition was created soon after James opened a school in the state of Ohio. James debuted his
'I Promise School' late last month in his hometown of Akron. The establishment is designed for students in the area who come from difficult circumstances. It will initially open its doors to 240 third- and fourth-grade students, and then add first- and second-grade classes next year.
