Prince George’s schools have long arranged White House visits, said schools spokeswoman Raven Hill. The White House tour was canceled as a result of the errant permission slip, and an alternative trip visiting museums and other cultural institutions in Washington will take place. “If a scholar is not classified as a U.S. Citizen, they will not be able to attend the field trip,” the permission slip said in bold letters at the bottom. The questions on the form appear to match what congressional staffers ask when arranging free White House tours for constituents, according to an image of that internal application provided to The Washington Post. A U.S. Secret Service spokesman confirmed that the questions on the permission slip are required of all children seeking a “boarding pass” to the White House.
