This is exactly what the wealthy has wanted for generations.
It’s not the wealthy contingent of the Republican coalition that has the major beef with federal involvement with education. It’s the social conservative contingent, which wants religious education, stuff like school vouchers so that they can use public funds to give their kids a religious education.
That’s gonna be hard for someone in a conservative state to do at the federal level, because a lot of people in other states aren’t gonna go along with it. But if you have a conservative state and the decisions about fund allocation are done at the state level, then you may have a chance of running kids through a religious education on public funds.

(Ironically, this article is saying that in the past few years, the decline may, in fact, have been arrested.)
With the declining education levels over the years, these above statistics clearly show that God makes true believers smarter!
Checkmate, atheists!
