At least we know where he went to school now...

Of course American schools are failing children... duh.

If children grow up to graduate college, they become Democrats at threateningly high rates... and if you think CA is bad, you should see most Red States that the OP didn't cherry pick to make his Troll Bonus tonight.

Why would you want America to "graduate" idiots? Just to vote Democrat? Makes no sense.

UCSD report: "At our campus, the picture is truly troubling. Between 2020 and 2025, the number of freshmen whose math placement exam results indicate they do not meet middle school[!] standards grew nearly thirtyfold, despite almost all of these students having taken beyond the minimum UCOP required math curriculum, and many with high grades."
