Biden to crack down on charter schools.

Under President Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, the federal government has prioritized school choice, which Trump has called “the civil rights of all time in this country.”

“Frankly, school choice is the civil rights statement of the year, of the decade and probably beyond because all children have to have access to quality education,” the 45th commander-in-chief said from the White House in June.

Biden, meanwhile, said during last year’s primary that his issue with charter schools was that they “siphon off money for our public schools.”

In a statement on the Trump administration’s current school policies, an Education Department spokesperson said, “There is no one less powerful and more marginalized than the student trapped in a failing, government-assigned school with no way out.”
