President Donald Trump’s efforts to bolster relations with historically black colleges erupted in controversy Tuesday after Education Secretary Betsy DeVos released a statement equating the history of the schools — founded during an era of racial segregation — to “school choice” policies.
“HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice,” DeVos said in the statement, released Monday night in advance of Trump’s planned signing of an executive order giving the schools more clout. “They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality. Their success has shown that more options help students flourish.”

Fantastic comment! What else can we come up with?

I’ve been thinking all day that this is precisely the type of choice that they want us to have in everything. Where there IS none.

Great comments ! Keep them coming. I hate to admit that I am from Michigan when anyone mentions DeVos. She owns the west side of the state.
