“flat earth democrat party members on education”
In fact, this data flies in the face of key Democratic/Progressive talking points on education, which appear to be bordering on flat-earth-level wrong. For example:
Claim #1: More money will fix everything!!!
Normie Democrats have been insisting that more money would fix everything in education since forever. If ONLY the MEAN Republicans would fully fund public education, everything would be amazing, but they DON’T because they’re BAD! But this new evidence completely contradicts that.
Tim Daly at The Education Daily has a great post about this (which is rage fueling me this morning). Daly called the result further evidence of an “Education Depression.” He holds up Oregon — which will fill in nicely as a stand in for blue states/progressive education dogma of late here. The state has become a black hole for money while student performance has fallen off a cliff, SMDH.
