- The Biden education department announced Thursday that U.S. students’ plummeting scores in reading and math during the COVID-19 pandemic are all due to former President Donald Trump.
- “Today’s data confirm the significant impact the prior Administration’s mismanagement of the pandemic has had on our children’s progress and academic well-being,” said Biden Education Secretary Miguel Cardona Thursday, following the report that U.S. students showed their steepest decline in decades in math and reading scores during the COVID school shutdowns.
