This lady is not going to be in any classroom educating anyone; she is simply a politician. She doesn't have to usual experiences the last few have had; although one could argue she's in line with Clinton SOE. Our current elementary education system is falling and often times in business we bring in someone known as a "change agent" to refocus the organization or diversity hires if we want to change the culture.

Trump is a businessman and it appears he wants to run the country as a business. Everybody screaming at the top of their lungs "It will fail" before it is given a chance are just being closed minded and petty. Including Pocahontas reciting Correata Scott King after she had been told to stop of course that is just her way of saying another appointee is "not qualified".

She's not even a politician.  She just has money to give to politicians.

Hiring someone to save a program who hasn't shown any ideas (well, one) to save the program isn't even good business.

That doesn't mean she will definitely fail.  It means she is not starting off with the best possible chances.

But the reference to "Pocahontas" tells me this conversation was probably over before it started.
