Looks like Deep State is waiting til after the mid-term elections.
NJ saw its student population drop by 41,000, and while we are also seeing Americans flee I suspect it is more due to the negative birth rates. We import masses of foreigners to keep the schools filled with students (replacing American ones with foreign ones), but still aren’t keeping up.

How's that CRT-centered, math equity, AP and honors-free, gay/transgendered curriculum working out?
Could it have anything to do with the fact that it has the most homos in the country?
Or that sane families would not want to raise kids in that cesspool?
California public schools has some of the lowest learning scores in the country they just use the state a fed money for self.
great, so California property taxes should decline as a result, right? /sarc
No worries. All those empty seats will be filled with kids crossing the border yesterday, today, tomorrow, Monday, Tuesday, etc, etc.
