President Donald Trump urged Congress during his State of the Union address Tuesday night to pass a pro-school choice plan that has been pending since it was introduced in the House of Representatives almost a year ago.

“The next step forward in building an inclusive society is making sure that every young American gets a great education and the opportunity to achieve the American Dream,” said Trump. “Yet, for too long, countless American children have been trapped in failing government schools.”
