Alas, public schools don’t seem to make the short list for the Obama girls. Michelle Obama is slated to visit Georgetown Day School (where many of her husband’s close advisers send their kids) and the Maret School today, and is also apparently considering Sidwell Friends, which Joe Biden’s grandchildren attend. No big surprise here, really. But this should come as welcome news to many of our commenters who seem to think that public school is too much of a security risk for the president’s kids, a sentiment I find sort of odd given that many DC schools already have metal detectors installed at the front door. DC schools know quite a bit about security, but apparently not enough about VIPs to make the cut.
