"Public education funding has risen 25% in the last decade despite school choice expansion, proving no zero-sum game."

Funny how changing just a few words can change a fact into propaganda. How about the reality:

"Public education funding has risen 25% in the last decade Because Of 'school choice' (euphemism for privatization), proving it's worse than a zero sum game."

I thought DEI had been abolished in Public Schools ? Why is this being allowed in order to Indoctrinate children into this Marxist ,Socialist Ideology ? White children should never be taught to hate themselves because they are White or to be shamed because blacks started slavery in the 9th century .

And the First slaves brought to America were Irish and Scottish .

And more Free blacks owned slaves than Whites .

DEI in Public Schools must be abolished now !!!

Hey Dana, that's a real cute AI pic you chose to include for your article. 1 white female, 2 black females, 3 black males, & 6 brown skins. Not a single white male to be found & 1 out of 12 student pictured are white. LOL. What a fake ass conservative you are. You'll find out soon enough what a state looks like when all the educated productive white men leave. Good luck finding a tax base when that happens.

You are correct, I used AI to generate a photo of students in school. I actually never noticed the number of white, black, male or female in the photo. But I don't think it really matters. I guess you can extrapolate whatever you want from the photo used.
