    More broadly, it directs the Department of Education to prioritize school choice programs through its discretionary grant programs, and orders the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on how states receiving block grants for families and children can use those funds to support private and faith-based institutions. >

    So basically public schools are bad? Why should the public pay for private schooling?

      It depends, is your priority education or public education? That’s what the debate is about

    Trump: Directs the Department of Education to prioritize school choice programs through its discretionary grant programs

    Also Trump: Signs executive order freezing all federal grants

    Looks like it corrected itself.
