education has been intentionally strangled by the us government for decades, no child left behind actively forced schools to teach only to the test and that means rote memorization, the WORST way to learn ever devized
this is the system working as intended
They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.
This is so deeply corrupt

This is the exact type of hypocrisy people are sick of in politics.
We need to be honest about who we are and whoโs supporting us.
Anytime a new Star Trek comes out - this is from 2022. Stephen Miller complained recently the new Starfleet Academy was woke.
