Hunter Biden Emails Show How Family Spurned Public Schools Despite Public Stance

President Joe Biden claims to be a booster of public schools, but emails on his wayward son‘s laptop show how the family prefers exclusive and pricey private schools — even when their personal finances are in ruins.

Hunter Biden complained in one email reviewed by The Daily Wire of having to suffer “degradation” to keep his kids out of public schools. It’s quite a contrast, given that the elder Biden has fought certain school choice initiatives and voucher efforts that would give low-income children the ability to attend elite private institutions, and First Lady Jill Biden often boasts of her membership in the National Education Association teachers union.

“Have I ever missed a tuition payment or mortgage payment, a play or a game or any thing that ever mattered- or your Neiman Marcus bill?” the younger Biden asks in a 2015 message to his ex-wife, referring to what he had to do to pay his children’s private school tuition bills to keep them out of Washington, D.C., public schools. “Do you know what I’ve done to make that possible[?] Do you have any idea of the level of degradation?”

Even as he descended into crack addiction and frequently had to beg for cash advances for various expenses, one item that was off-limits to cutting was tuition for Sidwell Friends School, one of Washington’s most elite academies, where former President Obama’s daughters also attended. Other emails on the laptop corroborated the theme.

“The invoice just arrived today,” a Biden assistant wrote about the Sidwell bill for Hunter’s children Finnegan and Maisy in April 2015. “Total for the year is $73,630 so the monthly amount due will be $7,363.”

Tuition bills were the subject of frequent tension with the aides who helped Hunter Biden manage his affairs, with a secretary writing in one typical example, “There is no money in the Wells Fargo account to pay Sidwell tuition on the 20th since your Boies salary was $10K less than usual last month.”

In a 2012 message, business partner Eric Schwerin warned Hunter Biden the tuition payments were tipping one credit card to its limit.

“Don’t use ‘your’ card any more this month if possible,” Schwerin wrote. “Sidwell tuition is coming out today and with the airline tickets coming out this month too that account is now tapped out.”

The rest of the Biden clan seems just as averse to public schools for their children judging by text messages and emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Hallie Biden, the widow of President Biden’s eldest son, Beau, who went on to date Hunter Biden for a time, was also insistent on sending her kids to private schools. After the pair moved to Annapolis, Maryland, the first item on the agenda was selecting a school – and there is no evidence that they considered Annapolis’ well-regarded public schools, even though they apparently could not afford private tuition.

Hallie wasted no time setting up a tour of the Field School, a $51,200 (as of
