    you see its about producing cannon fodder for the military, prison labor,+ low wage workers its by DESIGN. Also it helps shore up conservative voters, since many of them are undereducated, plus are more prone to religious indoctrination.

    Right after 08’ crash, so many people tried to join the military as a result of the crisis(at the same time the military was drawing down once obama got in the WH, people with no directions/bad economy will try to join the military, even if they are in college. I was in a forum about people joining military(how they are denying people too).

    Blue areas do fund schools better, but i dont think its that good either, i believe it still underfunded and people who are struggling often get shunted to classes that are practically useless teaching them anything(its where they shunt the kids so it doesnt affect the metrics for funding for the school).

    math and english(essay writing)proficiency is very deficient in students from the 2000s, i read recently from the teacher subreddit its alot worst now.

      The local high school in my rural town opted to buy a new fancy score board for the football stadium over needed text books. There were enough for each classroom, not enough for each class so students had to leave them in the classroom for the next class.
