Republicans promote teaching
centered around testing*
- Focus on Math and reading
- Very limited social studies
- Very limited science**
- Reduced arts, music
- Reduce physical education
- No critical thinking**
- Civics limited to locally

- Heavily filtered (biased) history

having such a hard time finding
truly qualified employees.

school districts, may have access to
STEM, STEAM, etc. programs.
