Why Gov. Youngkin Says We Must “Fundamentally Change” The American Education System
Data released by the National Assessment of Educational Progress revealed a dramatic drop in students testing scores in the areas of math and reading. The massive decline in test scores speaks to the warnings issued over the past few years about how much learning students would lose in the wake of the pandemic and remote learning. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin joins the Rundown to explain why the recent historic drop in testing numbers across the country are a symptom of larger education issues, how the pandemic revealed to parents the problems within the American education system and why Republican governors and lawmakers should campaign on this issue ahead of November.
Last Friday, President Biden’s plan to forgive $500 billion in student loan debt relief was temporarily blocked by an appeals court that ruled in favor of six GOP-led states that argued that the President is exceeding his authority. While the administration tries to use government funds to cancel debts, millions of skilled labor jobs which don’t require college degrees remain unfilled.
