Trump: Charter Schools Are ‘Under Attack’ from the ‘Radical Left’

‘As long as I’m president, I will never let your charter schools be taken away from you, be taken down’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Most people agree with us. The smart ones definitely agree with us. But it is also a moral issue, and it really is a fundamental issue of civil rights. No American student should ever be trapped in a failing government school, which has happened so often for so many years. It’s one of the problems you see when you see these cities going up in flame. One of the most successful educational models is the charter school, which has been under unceasing attack from the radical left. Charter schools — charter schools have been incredible, but they are under attack and you know why they are under attack. More than 1 million Hispanic-American children currently attend charter schools and nearly one in three charter school students is Hispanic-American. I’m proud that under my administration, we've delivered $1.5 billion for public charter schools. That is a record.”
