ORLANDO, Fla. – President Donald Trump and U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos are showcasing school choice today with a visit to St. Andrew Catholic School, a private school that participates in Florida’s tax credit scholarship program.

And about 100 school choice opponents, including many teachers union members and others who depend on the public school monopoly on education, greeted them with protest signs and chants like “Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, Donald Trump has got to go,” News 13 reports.

The visit is designed to highlight St. Andrew’s participation in the state’s Stand Up For Students scholarship program for low-income and disabled students, which helps 291 K-8 students attend the religious school on Tax Credit Scholarships.

Both Trump and DeVos are strong supporters of school choice, and Trump has vowed to create a $20 billion federal block grant program to increase educational options beyond traditional public schools.

St. Andrew is one of 12 schools in Florida named as a Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, and Stand Up For Students spokesman Patrick Gibbons told News 13 it’s changing the lives of students who could not afford to attend without a scholarship.

“It’s not about public school versus private school,” Gibbons said. “This is about helping parents find an education for their child that works for them. The average kid that comes to our program is struggling in their prior school.”

Trump and DeVos are expected to visit classrooms and meet with parents, teachers and administrators during the visit, which comes just days after the president called on Congress to develop a national school choice program.

“I am calling upon members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth including millions of African-Americans and Latino children,” Trump said in his first address to Congress Tuesday.

St. Andrew principal Latrina Peters-Gipson penned an editorial for Thursday’s Orlando Sentinel that touts Orange County’s school system as “a prime example of how well (school choice) works and how popular it has become.”

“Thousands of students choose district-operated magnet schools and academies and virtual education, and more than 10,000 attend privately operated charter schools that are approved by the district,” Peters-Gipson wrote. “As for the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship, which serves children from low-income and working-class homes at St. Andrew and other private schools, 9,500 students are taking advantage this year.”

The principal explained that St. Andrews is a top-rated school that relies on “faith and strong academics” to “create a learning community with few disruptions and more time for students to focus.”

“The parents who come through our doors don’t tend to see public and private as somehow in conflict,” she wrote. “They’re just looking for the school that will best serve their children.”

Teachers union officials and their allies, meanwhile, have a much different perspective, mostly because unions generate revenues from dues paying members who work almost exclusively in public schools.

The vast majority of other educational institutions employ non-unionized educators.

“It’s sad that rather then [SIC] listening to the public they are sworn to represent and who have a deep connection to public schools, Trump and DeVos’ first official joint trip is to a religious school, which they use as a backdrop for their ideological crusade,” American Federation of Teachers president Rhonda Weingarten said in a statement about Trump’s visit cited by US News & World Report.

Trump and DeVos, of course, are less interested in what’s best for special interest groups like the AFT and more interested in finding ways to improve education for America’s youth, particularly low-income and minority students left behind by failing public schools.

“The numbers continue to show that increasing school options has a positive effect on students generally, and even greater impact on poor and minority students,” DeVos wrote in an editorial for USA Today on Thursday. “If we truly want to provide better education to underserved communities, then it must start with giving parents and students school choice.”
