The president, who was joined by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, a longtime charter schools advocate, described St. Andrew as "one of the many parochial schools dedicated to educating some of our nation's most disadvantaged children." "Education is the civil rights issue of our time," said Trump, repeating a line from his address to Congress this week.
