I believe there should be equality of choice and education for everyone, and the Obamas should work for this, but the poor girls shouldn't have to suffer for it.

It would also do a great deal to help public schools in general. The more engaged families of means who send their kids to public schools, the more attention and resources those schools enjoy. Who better than the first family to set that example? It is absolutely the nation’s business in that choosing private school sends the message that public education doesn’t work.

In the current climate, though, I would keep those kids away from any Michelle Rhee, Joel Klein, or Paul Vallas-run systems. Those systems are dishonest and do not serve the children of those cities.
