As a Californian, it’s not just the DoE, especially on a scale of decades. My girlfriend went to public school in Texas and had shit like iPads and a lunch cafeteria with actual restaurants. I went to public school in California, mostly (entirely?) after it was gutted by the Governator, and had shit like textbooks shared across classes with swastikas and 8=D drawn all over the pages and a lunch cafeteria that served frozen pizzas microwaved in the plastic.

I mean his base is dumb enough to fall for this trick, so it will work perfect.
I really hate how the dept of education has been destroyed over the decades and now over 70% of the country is dumb as bricks.

Don’t worry, only rich communities’ public school were/ are like that in Texas. Schools are funded at the district-level in Texas, so poor communities go to poor schools and wealthy kids go to wealthy schools. If districts get so big that they encompass both, sometimes the wealthy residents try to stage a coup and split the district into wealthy and poor.

Ah. I’m broke and always have been. Maybe California works the same way.
Though that really is only more distressing, not less lol
