The school systems are no longer great. They are sliding into mediocrity. Years and years of underfunding from the state have moved Iowa from the top ten in public k12 schools into the twenties. Her approach to Covid will probably lead to a mass exodus of teachers. All schools must offer 100 percent in person schooling, regardless of square feet per pupil, quality of ventilation, etc. We rank 47th in vaccinations and teachers cannot jump to the front of the line. If I was still teaching, I would quit midyear to avoid dying from covid-19.
All the years of Branstad, Covid Kimmy, and the Republican state legislature have been gradually destroying the schools. They keep passing more and more onerous anti-abortion legislation.
And let's not forget those two worthless POS in the Senate. Iowa gave us Grassley to go after clinton and protect Trump. Ernst won a secod term easily. I'll bet branstadts son wins Grassley seat next time as a loyal protrumper.
univ of Iowa is a party school t exploded Covid 19 all over the corridor even before it reopened at the end of the summer.
Iowa should not be in the front of the line. Too small. Too white. And far too unlikely to actually deliver any electoral college or Senate seats.
