Colorado Newsline just dropped an article about declining public school enrollment across the state. The author chalks it up to demographic shifts—basically saying fewer kids means emptier classrooms. Cute theory, but it skips the part where COVID turned remote learning into a reality show nightmare—and mom and dad weren’t amused.
The Bullet Point Brief
- Statewide student counts are sliding downhill faster than Gavin Newsom’s approval ratings.
- Blames “demographic changes,” which is code for avoiding all accountability.
- Ignores how Zoom-school let parents witness firsthand the ideological clown show passing as curriculum.
- Welp, turns out when you push more politics than phonics, parents pull their kids.
- Weld County? We’re growing. Why? Because we support families—not fringe agendas and union propaganda.
My Bottom Line
You want to know why public school enrollment is plummeting? It’s not just birthrates or housing prices—though sure, throw those in for flavor. It’s because during COVID, America’s kitchen tables turned into classrooms and parents got a front row seat to a curriculum cooked up by ideological dingbats with tenure. Spoiler alert: parents didn’t like what they saw. They saw less reading and more rainbow propaganda; fewer lessons on civics and more lectures on climate guilt. So yeah—they noped out.
Meanwhile in Weld County? We’re holding steady—or even climbing—in student count across our 17 districts. That’s not magic; that’s intentional policy paired with cultural sanity. We foster family, support parental rights, and don’t treat moms and dads like background noise. People move here because we still believe schools should educate—not indoctrinate.
Let’s be clear: teacher’s unions do NOT own your kid. Parents do. Every parent should have the freedom to say: “No thanks—we’re taking our kids elsewhere,” without being treated like criminals for wanting their child to flourish in a system that matches their values. Let’s champion vouchers, charter schools, homeschooling co-ops—or whatever else gets education back on track and puts power where it belongs: in the hands of moms and dads, not bureaucrats with a political agenda.
