Also if people think that this is going to be the deathblow to education in the U.S… it’s been dead. It’s a rotting, festering corpse. I’ve already seen public highschools in shitholes like Mississippi and Oklahoma pushing 4 years of Christian theology “electives.” It’d be great if the DoE was setting education standards, because leaving it to the states has utterly failed.
It’s bad in the richest bluest states too. Unless you’re living in the suburbs going to a district that serves upper class families, the education system in the US will invariably fail you in one way or another
Even my highschool in california was full of teachers who didn’t want to be there, would actively ignore the fact the class was behind and would “adjust” scores to make sure most everyone passed, even if they didn’t try to learn anything
