School grades plummeted as Yadira Caraveo put unions first

Endless Covid lockdowns, which extreme House Democrats like Yadira Caraveo supported, pummeled middle and elementary school test scores, “demonstrating the far-reaching effects of education changes during the pandemic” according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Inside the numbers:

• The decline in math scores last year was the biggest in the past 50 years.
• The lowest-performing students scored at levels last recorded in the 1970s, when the assessment began.
• Scores declined among all racial and ethnic groups, and among both male and female students, and across urban, suburban, and rural areas.

While Colorado children were falling behind, Caraveo took $20,000 in 2022 from teachers’ unions that were keeping schools closed.

“The cost of Yadira Caraveo’s obedience was cheap for the corrupt teachers’ unions. But the price for Colorado’s children may mean the American Dream is even further out of reach.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
