School Choice is for the Privileged Class Only

Hard to say we didn't see this coming.
President-elect Barack Obama and Mrs. Obama Decide to Send Daughters to Sidwell Friends School - washingtonpost.com: "Continuing a tradition among Washington's power elite, President-elect Barack Obama and his wife have decided to send their kids to Sidwell Friends School. Michelle Obama confirmed yesterday that Malia and Sasha, the incoming first daughters, will enroll at the pricey private school when the family moves into the White House in January.
...
Sidwell has between 1,000 and 1,100 students and says 39 percent of them self-identify as students of color. Tuition this year for elementary school is $28,442; for the middle school, $29,442. "

Does anyone with an IQ over room temperature actually believe this?
"... Mrs. Obama has said that public schools were under consideration ..."

The Obama children apparently eschewed the public schools their father sentences lesser children to, even while still in Chicago.
"Malia and Sasha will be transferring from the private University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, which have about 1,700 students. "
