The education crisis

Rapid Response

It’s clear Democrat school lockdowns have done generational damage to America’s children. A string of reports from the last week show the extent of the damage:

  • The Associated Press: 210,000 students are missing – not in homeschool or private school but missing – from the New York and California school systems.
  • The Washington Post: Half of children are below grade level in at least one subject after the lockdowns.
  • Fox News: Seattle Public Schools is considering closing schools as enrollment plummets.

Let’s not forget, 19 of the top 20 states for getting kids back to in-person schooling during the 2020-2021 school year were led by Republicans. 18 of the bottom 20 states and districts were led by Democrats.

Joe Biden, in contrast, has embraced “activists” who pushed for harmful mandates and lockdowns. He even let far-left union boss Randi Weingarten dictate CDC policy.

There is an education crisis in America – and Biden is backing the people who caused it.
