The state of our education system may be the most disastrous since its creation. It is characterized by falling literacy rates and failing math scores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">COVID lockdowns allowed parents to see the content of their children&#8217;s learning, which was a part of what COVID locked downs enabled. Due to diversity consulting firms and teacher&#8217;s unions making money on brainwashing children, everything from critical race theory to gender ideologies has been incorporated into the national curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So it&#8217;s not surprising that so many Americans of school age and my age can&#8217;t function in regular society. Some states have created mechanisms to correct this situation. To be honest, however, Virginia&#8217;s state Senate is a bit sceptical about teaching Communism&#8217;s dangers.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DelJAvoli?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DelJAvoli<\/a> HB 1816 is a bill that requires students to be educated about the dangers and consequences of communism.
