In reflecting on the release of the latest test scores, I went back and read something I wrote for Daily Clout in February 2021. If I knew — some lowly marketing executive — government and public health leaders knew. They just didn’t care. I just don’t buy the fog of war argument.
It’s all so inexcusable. And the reason we don’t just let it go now is the people who drove these decisions — government leaders, public health officials, influential doctors and union heads — are not fit to serve. They failed. They should not hold their jobs. And yet they still do.
And so we continue, in the hopes that keeping this catastrophe top of mind will prevent such egregious policy decisions from being made — and accepted — ever again.
[I agree with Jennifer’s take entirely, but as I wrote earlier, I also don’t think the pandemic was the main issue. It only exacerbated a trend that had been long underway — a trend to deprioritize education in favor of indoctrination into the radical-progressive didactic. — Ed]
