Yeah, this is the result of decades of work by right-wing groups to destroy public education and sell the "cure" in charter/private schools. The countries with the best education systems, unsurprisingly, have extremely rigorous standards set by the government and in many cases the methods and materials are produced by the governments, as well. The US's public/private brainworms destroys everything it touches. Which, critical support and all for destroying America, but millions of kids are absolutely fucked by no fault of their own because capitalists wanted a dumb, complacent army of labor.

Personally speaking, I'll reserve my critical support for adventurists and religious zealots who happen to pick good targets, rather than the masters of the state fucking themselves over in a long-term fashion for medium-term profit.

Yeah, that's a bad take from me. It does seem like the capitalists are really trying to accelerate the decline of the US empire, though. Guess they feel like they looted all they could out of the global south and now it's time to go for the imperial core.
