Something Hillary could never do, as she is bound by public school unions.

Donald Trump as president would redirect $20 billion in his first budget proposal to expand school choice for poor children, he said Thursday.
The proposal came as the Republican nominee visited a charter school in Cleveland, seeking to close his polling gap with Democrat Hillary Clinton in the must-win state of Ohio.
The money would establish a block grant for 11 million school-aged children who are poor, and states would have discretion about how to use the money, “but the dollars should follow the student,” according to a campaign statement. The money would “favor” those states with existing charter and school-choice laws, Trump said.
“The parents will be so happy,” he said. “Number 1, we’ll have safe streets; and Number 2, they’ll walk their children to schools they want to be at.”
