Thousands of schools in the United States are at risk of closure due to a severe drop in enrollment in recent years. The pandemic was one of the worst things to happen to public education in years and the teacher unions and Democrats made it even worse by repeatedly postponing the reopening of schools. Many parents were also horrified to discover the woke content that is being taught.

The report also noted Jackson Public Schools voted to close 11 schools and merge two of them. Some of these schools saw a loss of 30% or more of their students since 2018. Plenty of school districts saw decreases similar to that of Jackson Public Schools, the report states, and that number more than doubled between 2019 and 2021. The report explained further that the decline is projected to continue throughout the decade and that Oregon, New Mexico and West Virginia are among the states expected to see an enrollment decline of “at least another 10%.” The landscape of American education has completely changed and is probably never going back to what it was. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/thousands-schools-risk-closing-due-massive-drop-enrollment/ Worst Locusts in the US This Year in Over 200 Years Maybe because I just read in Revelations about the locusts, but this article is at least interesting. https://dnyuz.com/2024/01/19/the-world-hasnt-seen-cicadas-like-this-since-1803/ The cicadas are coming — and if you’re in the Midwest or the Southeast, they will be more plentiful than ever. Or at least since the Louisiana Purchase. This spring, for the first time since 1803, two cicada groups known as Brood XIX, or the Great Southern Brood, and Brood XIII, or the Northern Illinois Brood, are set to appear at the same time, in what is known as a dual emergence... By mid June it should be pretty loud around here.
