It's also happening in areas where education HASN'T been defended or dismantled. It's happening in areas that aren't Republican controlled too.

Fuck MAGA with a moldy pine tree but blaming this problem solely on them means it can't be solved because whatever is happening isn't being caused by them.

    I never said it was solely on them, but saying that has no bearing on it is ridiculous as well.

    We also had COVID which many/most schools had no fucking idea how to handle. There's basically an entire year of wasted education there.

    Remote learning is a completely different beast. And digital social interaction is completely different than being physically at school with friends. Social interactions are a large part of learning as well.
