President Carter is responsible for the monumental decay of the quality of K-12 education of tens of millions of American children over two generations, as a result of the politicization of education.
Since the creation of the Department of Education, too many politicians have served the dysfunctional needs of teachers unions while sacrificing the educational needs of children.
Some prominent politicians are on record for changing their allegiances in this way.
For example, guess who in 2003 argued in favor of a "fully funded" and "well-designed voucher program" that would "relieve parents from the terrible choice of leaving their kids in lousy schools or bankrupting themselves to escape those schools."?
The pandemic has opened the eyes of many parents to these dysfunctions.
