They already do. Students at private schools, nationwide, get Pell Grants, etc.

What about charter schools in black communities?

Why shouldn't they? They continually produce better results when it comes to minority student's education levels at graduation. Why wouldn't you reward people with good ideas and people who are successful at educating minority kids who otherwise would be failing and dropping out?

Or perhaps they just realized Hillary was/is a horrible candidate?

Public money going to a private institution and you ask "why not"? Really?

Choice threatens Democrats much the same way a crucifix does a vampire; they will never accept it. They exist to maintain control.

Where's the big Democrat push to end public funding at post-secondary schools, then? Hmmm...?

I'll spell it out for you. Democrats oppose school vouchers at the K-12 level to keep Blacks and Hispanics dumb and poor. However, they tacitly approve vouchers (Pell Grants, etc., going to private school students) at the post-secondary level because Blacks and Hispanics are unable to function and are therefore severely underrepresented at that level of education.

College Readiness Rates by Race/Ethnicity:

African American: 5%
American Indian: 10%
Asian 43%
Hispanic : 14%
Pacific Islander: 19%
White: 33%

As I've said, public money already goes to private schools at the post-secondary level. That is, at the level Blacks and Hispanics are disproportionately not able to advance, as I've shown in my previous post.

Thank Democrats for that.

If that is true why do Democrats support school of choice?
