This is more fake news, incidentally. Secretary DeVos* was referring to the previous witness who had specifically referenced putting up fence to keep bears away from his school. She used an immediate prior witness as a relevant example that our schools are located in vastly different places (and our country is very "diverse" in localities) and need to be able to act on their local knowledge and circumstances.
Of course, the fake news media decided to take that statement as though it came out of nowhere. Because they're unbiased and only interested in the truth.
*I just want to emphasize the fact that the Democrats failed to derail her nomination
