The education establishment's laptop revolution has been exposed as a catastrophic $30 billion failure that's literally rewiring our children's brains for failure, according to a damning Fortune magazine investigation that confirms what concerned parents have been screaming about for years.

While bureaucrats and Big Tech profiteers celebrated flooding American classrooms with tablets and laptops, standardized test scores have continued their relentless slide downward. Now neuroscientists are sounding the alarm: increased screen time in classrooms is directly linked to declining academic performance.

Think about that, patriots. The same devices that were supposed to "modernize" education are systematically destroying our children's ability to learn. And the education industrial complex spent THREE DECADES and $30 BILLION of taxpayer money to make it happen.

Teachers Saw the Carnage Firsthand

Many classroom teachers witnessed this disaster unfolding in real time, watching helplessly as screens replaced actual learning. But did the ivory tower academics listen? Did the school administrators pumping millions into Apple and Google's pockets care?

Of course not. They were too busy chasing the latest trendy "innovation" to ask the most basic question: What does flooding developing minds with screens actually do to a child's brain?

"Schools rushed into a technological revolution without asking the most basic question: What does this do to a child's mind?"

This is what happens when we let progressive educrats and Silicon Valley elites experiment on our kids like lab rats. They turned classrooms into Big Tech showrooms while American students fell further behind countries that prioritize actual learning over flashy gadgets.

The Trump administration's focus on dismantling failed federal education programs couldn't come at a better time. While Democrats were busy pushing critical race theory and gender ideology, they were simultaneously frying our children's brains with screens.

How many more billions will we waste? How many more young minds will be sacrificed on the altar of "educational innovation" before we return to proven methods that actually work? It's time to hold every administrator who pushed this screen-obsessed agenda accountable to the parents and taxpayers they betrayed.

FINALLY someone is exposing this! I've been saying for years that these laptop programs were just money grabs while our kids' test scores plummeted.

You're absolutely right. I saw this happening in my district and got reprimanded for speaking up.

This is exactly why we pulled our kids out of public school. Best decision we ever made!

My daughter's school got these laptops in 2019 and her grades went downhill immediately. All she does is play games and browse social media during 'learning time'.

Our kids need books, pencils, and real teachers - not more screen time! This whole thing was planned obsolescence for our children's minds.

Where exactly did all this money go? I want to see receipts and accountability for every single dollar.

Good luck getting transparency from these school boards. They're all in on it.

This is what happens when government controls education instead of parents and local communities.

Were these the same laptops that were supposed to 'revolutionize education' during COVID? Because my son learned absolutely nothing that year.

Same here! It was basically free babysitting while parents had to work.

The teachers union knew this was a scam from day one but stayed silent because they were getting kickbacks. Disgusting betrayal of our children's future.
