California delays coronavirus vaccine mandate for schools
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. For a state that is losing population, it still seems more housing is being built on any open land here in NJ; this assures me that the open borders won’t be addressed within the coming decades. It also tells me the high tax problem here won’t go away any time soon; many of these foreigners are takers rather than makers/contributors.
For people who haven’t entered old age yet, the biggest thing to impact their lives will be global depopulation.

And young people with kids left California.
My local paper (I live outside of LA) says they have a plan to counteract the exodus from the public schools: More dual language classes in Spanish and Chinese.
That should staunch the flow.
LA is a VERY expensive place to live - that and the schools suck.
How's that CRT-centered, math equity, AP and honors-free, gay/transgendered curriculum working out?
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.
