Kelleyanne Conway, Donald Trump's former campaign manager and now his counselor, is reportedly having a hard time enrolling her kids. Several Washington D.C. private schools have apparently not welcomed her inquiries and are instead giving her the brush-off.
Page Six reports that Kellyanne Conway was supposed to have told other parents at her twins' current New Jersey school about getting cold replies from D.C. schools. Trump's counselor is moving to the state come January with her husband George, a lawyer, and their kids, so they are already making the preparations.
"Kellyanne is asking everyone with connections to DC schools for help," a source told the news outlet. The mother-of-four is said to be amused by the situation after friends, who have been asking DC private schools on her behalf, have told her that they are getting "silence and sighs on the other end of the phone."
Last Wednesday, Kellyanne Conway was reportedly in D.C. to look into some private schools herself. She felt disappointed over the fact that these institutions profess "diversity" and "open-mindedness," yet she's experiencing being unwelcomed.

Private schools in Washington have a rather selective and stringent process for admission. None of the reports have indicated why the schools are turning her down. Daily Mail reports that she feels she is being singled out because of her strong ties with the president-elect.
Kellyanne Conway was supposed to be part of Donald Trump's cabinet as his press secretary but the strategist turned down the post because she has four kids - aged 12 (twins), 8 and 7 - to look after. She agreed, however, to be a counselor in his new government.
"Everyone has to do what's best for their family and that's why I didn't jump immediately on a position that was offered to me early in the transition because there's a lot to weigh," Kellyanne Conway said, according to AOL. She believes she can still be an effective contributor to the Trump government while being an involved parent to her kids.
