Reading this made me think of Oklahoma as well, another state in the south that is very low on the country’s educations rates. The Tulsa Public School District is already crying out for more teachers and funding while the OK state superintendent, Ryan Walters, continues to focus on banning books and trying to get the Bible taught in public schools… the dismantling of the DOE doesn’t seem like a big deal on the surface but it’s scary to think what it will do to states like Oklahoma & Arkansas for sure

EXACTLY!! it's the states that are often forgotten about, while usually red-leaning, that will be seriously impacted and it's so frightening

As usual, everything you write to which I can relate, is extraordinary. I don't understand how you have the time to write such, let alone do the research that is evident. Thanks,

this is so interesting and so shocking to me! i’m from england and learned a bit about US politics for my A-level course, but this showed me how little i really know about how your country works. i can’t believe you have to pay to take exams??!

thank you for writing this, i really enjoyed the insight.
