While the media bloviated about Kellyanne Conway putting her feet up on a couch in the Oval office, President Trump made historically black colleges and universities an “absolute priority” Tuesday. It moves them from the Department of Education to the White House. The President met with the leaders of the colleges in February because they felt they were given too little attention under Obama. The EO doesn’t deal with regulations or funding because that is in the president’s budget.
These colleges formed during segregation when black students were barred from going to some major universities.
Instead of divisive language, encouraging anti-police riots, and promoting white supremacy, the President is doing something that will actually make a difference.
