.MaddowBlog: School story from Pres. Trump's State of the Union address unravels
At face value, the obvious question raised by the president's speech is why he's so eager to privatize schools instead of helping some of the public schools he considers"failing.
But Janiyah Davis already attends one of the city's most sought-after charter schools, The Inquirer has learned. In September, months before she was an honored guest at Trump's State of the Union address, she entered Math, Science and Technology Community Charter School III. Oh. So Trump was delighted to announce that Janiyah Davis' family would receive a voucher so that she could attend a good school, but in reality, the Philadelphia fourth-grader is already going to a good school -- which receives public funding, and which doesn't charge anything in tuition.added,"How she landed in the audience during Trump's prime-time speech Tuesday remains a bit of a mystery even to Janiyah's mother, Stephanie Davis.
The girl's mother added that she doesn't see her daughter's current school as one"you want to get out of at all." Davis added,"I view it as a great opportunity." Why is Trump an unreliable narrator to his own presidency? Because so little of what he says should be taken at face value.
