The education establishment's biggest lie has finally been exposed, and it cost taxpayers more than $30 billion while destroying an entire generation of American students.
A bombshell Fortune magazine report reveals what conservative parents have been screaming about for years: the massive push to flood every classroom with laptops and tablets has been an unmitigated disaster. Despite spending obscene amounts of taxpayer money on these digital devices, standardized test scores continue their devastating slide downward.
But here's the kicker that should infuriate every American parent - neuroscientists are now confirming that increased classroom screen time is directly linked to LOWER academic performance. The very devices that education bureaucrats promised would "modernize learning" are systematically destroying our children's ability to think, focus, and learn.
Teachers Saw the Truth, But Nobody Listened
While progressive administrators were busy cutting deals with Big Tech companies and patting themselves on the back for being "innovative," frontline teachers watched in horror as their students' attention spans evaporated and critical thinking skills disappeared.
Many educators tried to sound the alarm, but they were ignored by a system more interested in appearing cutting-edge than actually educating children. The same establishment that lectures parents about "following the science" completely ignored the mounting scientific evidence about screen addiction and cognitive development.
"Schools rushed into a technological revolution without asking the most basic question: What does this do to a child's mind?"
This isn't just an education failure - it's a criminal waste of resources that could have gone toward actual learning. While American students fall further behind international competitors, billions of taxpayer dollars lined the pockets of tech companies selling snake oil solutions.
The Trump administration's push to restore common sense to education can't come soon enough. Parents deserve answers about who approved this massive spending spree and why nobody was held accountable when it clearly wasn't working.
How many more billions will we waste before admitting that good teachers, solid curriculum, and discipline matter more than fancy gadgets?
