Fans of NBA star LeBron James have put up an online petition championing his candidacy for the post of Secretary of Education, currently held by Betsy DeVos. In the petition's description its author, Rebecca G, notes that while DeVos is just a "a scandal-ridden Republican donor," LeBron is an "influential community advocate and activist" who recently opened a "state-of-the-art" public school in Ohio called "I Promise." So far the petition has only gathered 9,235 signatures.
