Well, I don't personally identify with either side of the political divide, but it seems like increasing the quality of educational outcomes for our nation's children should be a primary concern with basic bipartisan agreement. Wishful thinking perhaps.

Wishful thinking indeed. School board elections, along with other local elections, are now just gateways for radical idealogs to gain entry level positions in politics. Quality education isn't even on the radar. Not that there is even a baseline agreement on what "quality" means anymore.

This is why I left California. They way things are going, it won't be long until "decolonizing mathematics" becomes part of the standard curriculum. In the meantime, illiteracy is growing and STEM grades are plummeting.
