    They're holding our Country back horribly, that's so true. We have an education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge. But there's an answer. It's called Charter School. And I hired Betsy DeVos, she's a huge believer in Charter. She's blond. But she's very smart. She put her money on, it's called K12. Like Kindergarten and 12th. Grade, get it? It's a Company that, they're doing the Cyber Charter. Where kids don't go to school. The Cyber is their school. They have modern digital. And a kid, instead of going to school, they sit down in front of the digital. The online. Less money, more profit. And works much better. It's what they do.

    And we're moving very strongly on the Education. On bringing our Education system into the 21st. Century. Bringing choice -- so important. We love choice. The right to choose. America First!!!

    FTFUs. Betsy is dumb as rock. She is more embarrassing, if this is possible, than Obama's Sec of Ed! Trump, and blondes. No wonder Nikki Haley had to go.
