Conway faces resistance in DC private school search: report

[DonViejo]

President-elect Donald Trump’s future counselor said she is 'amused' by the chilled response she has received so far as she begins searching for a private school for her four children in Washington.

Kellyanne Conway is concerned her work for Trump may impact her school search upon relocating to the nation’s dark-blue capital, The New York Post reported Wednesday.

“I would not characterize myself as ‘worried’ so much as amused by the silence and sighs on the other end of the phone when friends and allies have made preliminary inquiries on my behalf,” she told the Post while visiting schools in the District.

Noting many private school handbooks and websites tout diversity and open-mindedness, Conway said: “For some, there is comfort in sameness."

1. I call bullshit. There are tons of douchey conservative preppy rich white schools around D.C.

She's just furthering the idea of educated liberals being elitists.

[mountain grammy]

5. Agree

[Tikki]

2. So now misogynists are to be labeled as a part of diversity....sigh

How she can look a daughter or a son in the eyes after backing and working for a man who says he would
hurt women, on purpose, as a whim is beyond my human comprehension.

3. She is running out of things to complain about.

She whines so much people are whining because she won't shut up.

4. I don't believe this for a moment.

I am sure, at over $39,000 a year per student, Sidwell Friends would be glad to take her money.

[Hekate]

14. isn't Sidwell Friends founded on Quaker principles? They might have a code of ethics to sign....

In fact, private schools of that stature have very long waiting lists as a general rule, and can afford to be as exclusive as they want in terms of the quality of student they accept. In case it's not clear, "quality" doesn't include just money and pedigree, but scholarship and behavior, and just possibly the good repute of the parents.

6. Tsk Tsk. Such sameness. Why not give nazism a chance? Be openminded, like orange hitler and his

flunkies.

[LonePirate]

7. Why not put her kids in a public school? No rejections to be found there.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Because she know exactly what the Trump team is going to do to public schools.

She doesn't want her precious snowflakes to go to such inferior institutions.

[Golden Raisin]

11. She'd make an instant enemy of Betsy DeVos

and aggravate her boss Trump.

[Cha]

8. con-way lies just to keep her chops in practice.

[Generator]

9. Is she going to guarantee a bunker spot for all the families

at her kid's school too? That's what I would ask her. Because she is supporting a lunatic who will have nuclear codes and has made it clear he wants to use them. She is one I despise the most. The female enabler. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Tatiana]

12. What a liar. There are plenty of conservative private schools in the DC area.

But I think she inadvertently highlights the problem with giving families vouchers for private schools. We would be spending tax dollars on schools that discriminate against others.

And, because they are private, they can discriminate as long as they don't receive federal funds.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. Sounds like more made up bullshit from this mousy voiced Goebbels. nt

[nini]

15. They love the victim card don't they?

Good

[SharonClark]

16. Are there no right-wing Christianista schools in the DC area for her kids?

[Skittles]

17. she is SO FULL OF SHIT

she is LYING

[TheDebbieDee]

18. ALERT! ALERT! FAKE NEWS!
