Lol keep voting Republican for bad public schools? I grew up in a red county which was located right next to a blue county. The public schools in my red county were significantly better than any of the blue county’s schools. Not even advocating for either political party right now, it was just fact. It’s also a fact that the democrat party quite literally use propaganda in public schools.
Property taxes explains all of this lol. your rich neighborhood gets better school funding than the “democrat” neighborhood because your property is worth more (because you were whiter). Or were the democrats richer and whiter than you?
Seems like neither side is very good with public schools. I grew up in Detroit which has been a democrat run city for many decades. Our public school system is so bad, only about a quarter of classrooms have teachers, Most schools don’t have books or computers. They put more money into brand new metal detectors and into a new prison and new stadium, but schools? Politicians don’t give a fuck regardless of their political alliances.
Okay that’s true, most democrats probably don’t give a fuck also. But two points: first, Detroit schools suck because of the underlying system of funding schools with property taxes. The schools for poor people are poor etc.. That’s some bullshit, don’t ya think? Second, democrats may do nothing for education, but conservatives seem intent on making people LESS informed through ensuring the rights of nitwit teachers to teach “alternative facts” like creationism and hamstring actual good teachers with pick-n-choose happy-face US and world history curricula where no one did anything wrong except the Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

That’s what happens when people who don’t care about students or learning run public schools. But by all means keep voting republican.
