This describes Canada. Not really such a thing as “good school districts”, they’re all funded equally. Private schools don’t have as much of a presence as in the US. And the quality of an undergrad degree is more or less the same everywhere. Rich, poor, all mostly have access to the same education.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

When you fire or sideline all the experts who know what they’re doing in a government and let everything be run by either idiots (Rubio) or shady and corrupt idiots (Witkoff), the results aren’t surprising.
State Dept. Spokesperson now refuting GOP and Dem senators’ account of their joint briefing from Rubio - and claiming the 28 point plan IS authored by the US.
Hard to believe several senators would have fundamentally misunderstood what Rubio told them.
Breathtakingly dysfunctional government.

Sorry, but this is not enough. The Democratic Senators' posts/videos about the outrageous Thing also need to go the next step & demand his immediate impeachment & removal. No, it won't happen. Doesn't matter. Normalize enforcing the rule of law & the Constitution. Articulate what must be done.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
