If it's increased, it hasn't scaled with population. Reagan was well known for cutting the Department of Education's budget[0], and the public school system in Florida is abysmal. In places like that, it's implied that, if you remotely care about your kid's education, you enroll them into a private school[1]. A lot of those are Catholic, too. No wonder the right likes them.

This is just not true: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d19/tables/dt19_236.55.a.... One might call it "misinformation".
