same thing they wont do anything for low birth rates, its just half-assed attempt, or using culture wars, or actual wars a distraction. Also the reason they dont want to fund schools most of the time, and this not only in red areas, blue areas are underfunded. if teachers are getting such a low-starting salaries in thier contracts, the districts underfunded. (i met a former co-worker that confirmed this as a teacher she refused to work in a dangerous district and also because the pay was so low.) this was a blue area.
