“Democrats always congratulate themselves on being the only party truly concerned with education, especially of the underprivileged, and regularly attack conservatives and Republicans for their “callous indifference.” The Democratic Party Platform, presenting itself as a savior of the underclass, calls for billions of dollars in “bold new investments” by federal and state governments to make good public schools available to every child, “no matter what zip code they live in,”” an excerpt from the “Shame of the Schools” book read.
Despite Democrats plowing tens of billions into public K-12 education, schools across the nation are failing in their core mission to educate.
The answer by Democrats for failing schools is to spend, spend, spend. However, the evidence of Democrats spending into oblivion on education, yielding positive results for the future generation, has yet to materialize:
“The average test scores for U.S. 13-year-olds have dipped in reading and dropped sharply in math since 2020, according to new data from National Assessment of Educational Progress.
“The average scores, from tests given last fall, declined 4 points in reading and 9 points in math, compared with tests given in the 2019-2020 school year, and are the lowest in decades. The declines in reading were more pronounced for lower performing students, but dropped across all percentiles,” NPR reported.
In Maryland and Illinois, two states controlled by radical Democrats, evidence is mounting that progressives are failing to educate the youth.
Independent research firm Wirepoints found that, shockingly, 53 schools in Illinois had zero students proficient in math at grade levels. The state spends $40.6 billion on K-12 education or $21,750 per student – some of the highest in the nation.

Feel me ?
You have successfully shown u too can be President of the United States!
While fault can definitely be found with the educational establishment, the Dems have fostered a far worse condition.
Failure.
Failure in that they have groomed so many that to fail and expect to be bailed out by their programs is the answer they repeatedly make excuses for.
I have a foreign word that can solve the problem.
Work.
You have to work to succeed. Don’t expect anything that you don’t work for.
That, in my opinion, is the problem and the solution. Don’t listen to me though as I’m just an old fart. 2 kids. No loans for schooling. Just work, plain, very old fashioned, work.

Democrats have taken time away from core subjects like math, reading,and history and substituted social emotional, transgender agendas to removal morals from our children. If people can’t see this we’ve lost America. And people are doing nothing!
