School grades plummeted as Kildee and Scholten put unions first

Endless Covid lockdowns, which extreme House Democrats like Dan Kildee and Hillary Scholten 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 Michigan children were falling behind, Kildee and Scholten both took $20,000 in 2022 from teachers’ unions that were keeping schools closed.

“The cost of Dan Kildee and Hillary Scholten’s obedience was cheap for the corrupt teachers’ unions. But the price for Michigan’s children may mean the American Dream is even further out of reach.”  — NRCC Spokesman Chris Gustafson
