The Dems want to dumb down the children, it makes them so much easier to control.

In reply to Norteno. I agree wholeheartedly. Perhaps NM education will decline to such a degree that dems will then finally open their brain-dead eyes and see the common sense solution to improving our education. But I won't hold my breath.

Local school boards did a great job of determining curriculum and producing great citizens till the creation of the department of education in mid 70s. Federalizing education was simply a way to propagandize the entire country into liberal Marxist views . The numbers don’t lie, America went from 1st in world education to where we are now, 8th or worse I believe . While it’s true that some states will do better than others, I’m convinced that the current political situation in NM is certainly not good for students. States that have fallen to communism ie California, Colorado ,NM will continue their downward spiral. Local school boards must stand firm against the state to ensure that real education is taught and that we avoid producing “graduates “ that read at a third grade level as is now the case!

Cut the fraud! This is great. It’s not great for New Mexico since all states will receive larger grants for their educational programs because of the federal cuts. New Mexico education is one of the lowest rated education in the US. On top of that, I don’t trust that the majority Dems will use these grants correctly. They probably throw it in an LGBTQ or abortion program. Such a wasters, most of our current legislators.
