Kid Trump Highlighted Attends Elite Charter School

“President Trump turned a Philadelphia fourth grader into a poster child for the school-choice movement Tuesday when he told the nation that thousands of students were ‘trapped in failing government schools’ and announced that the girl was at last getting a scholarship to attend the school of her choice,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

“But Janiyah Davis already attends one of the city’s most sought-after charter schools.”

Mom was unsure why her daughter was picked and is not sure if she will use the scholarship to return to the private school she attended K-3. She likes her charter school.

Not that Cheeto cares - and not that any Republican wants a minority child in any school their child attends.
