California schools are grappling with two major challenges: declining student achievement and significant funding cuts.
While lawmakers focus on cultural debates like transgender athlete participation, test scores—especially in reading—remain alarmingly low. Additionally, rural schools and infrastructure are losing millions in federal funding due to budget cuts, further straining resources. These financial setbacks disproportionately impact communities with large federal land holdings that cannot generate local tax revenue.
Without intervention, both academic performance and essential services in these areas could continue to decline.

This is exactly why we need more school choice and competition—public schools clearly aren’t using their funding efficiently, and parents should have better options for their kids.

California’s education system is a disaster, and it’s no surprise why. Instead of focusing on core subjects like reading and math, politicians waste time on woke social issues that don’t help kids succeed. Schools don’t need more money—they need accountability and a return to traditional education standards. Rural communities are hit hardest because the state prioritizes urban special interests over hardworking families. If they really cared about students, they’d stop pushing political agendas in classrooms and start demanding real results. Until then, California’s schools will keep failing the very kids they claim to serve.
Maybe if politicians spent less time fighting over culture war nonsense and more time fully funding public schools, kids wouldn’t be falling behind.

Extra money has always gone to counties with large amounts of federal land that can’t be taxed. Congress failed to include it in the upcoming budget.
