That is what was came out of opinion searches. Most people were actually happy with public schools their kids went to. They had general opinion that some schools somewhere else are bad. And that is also actual reality - areas that collect a little on taxes have worst schools (and healthcare) then areas willing or having funds to pay them. Also, when it come to DOGE, education department cuts are the ones American seem to mark as least popular.

Yet also, lets not pretend that cutting money that goes toward healthy lunch have anything to do with trying to raise test scores. Cutting support for special needs students wont raise those test scores either.
