They want to use HBCUs as an example of how people can create good schools away from the traditional schooling model.
And, the truth is that HBCUs were created because black kids didn't get good opportunities in mostly-white colleges, so the community had to go out and create opportunities for these students to attend good schools.
The rich, white kids that Betsy DeVos wants to hand vouchers so they can attend Jesus school have plenty of opportunities already.
So, yeah... they are USING the HBCUs.
I'm disgusted by that.
Do you know anyone who's been to a HBCU? Or why people still currently go to them?
As a black man, I'm pissed that Conway kneeling in a couch is getting more attention than Trump actually being dedicated into being the first President in recent memory to help HCBU's in the country.
Of course, the dude does something right and positive, and it gets overshadowed by trivial BS.
Seriously, this crap is gonna get Trump re-elected. Normal people don't care about her taking a picture kneeling in a couch...the same office where Clinton got several BJ's from his intern.
Actually if Conway didn't kneel on the couch the media would probably never show this photo, so it least the media has been forced to show President Trump with black people.

Sounds like charter schools...
Today - black kids don't get good opportunities in public education facilities in inner cities. Time for something new to replace the old failing model.
It was billed a listening session where HBCU leaders could talk to Trump but just turned into a photo op for Trump.
The "listening session" was limited to 10 minutes with a 1 minute maximum per person
More of this...
All during the campaign up to now, it's been Trump is racist... he invites leaders of HBCUs to the White House - it's only a photo op, he doesn't care... look at Conway on the couch... you guys will never be satisfied with anything that Trump does. This is just more yapping at his heels...
So far President Trump has kept his campaign promises.
And one of his promises was fixing inner cities.
So he will deliver on that too, you all will see.
Regardless, what she was doing with phone, likely she was either cropping or preparing it for social media,
The problem and this picture confirms her casual attitude of a formal occasion.
Proper Etiquette is if everyone in the room is standing, you remain standing. If you need to sit definitly feet on the ground or as a lady in a dress, legs can be crossed.
Definitely not crawled up on a couch, like she was doing.
IMO, let the White House photographer should be responsible for pictures, however and if she is in charge of social media, then at least lean if needed.

Not with charter schools with no transportation and using public money for religious schools.
