Dept of Ed spells W.E.B. Du Bois name wrong in tweet honoring him, then has typo in apology
Department of Education spells W.E.B. Du Bois’ name wrong in tweet honoring him for Black History Month, then has typo in apology

The U.S. Department of Education needs to learn about black history — and proofreading.
The Education Department, now led by the historically unpopular Betsy DeVos, on Sunday tweeted a tribute to the African-American writer and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois — and spelled his name wrong.
It then apologized — and made another typo.
The initial tweet featured a quote from Du Bois — “Education must not simply teach work — it must teach life” — and credited it to “W.E.B. DeBois.”
