They did this during the pandemic and parked the buses in lower-income areas to help kids who had to do school from home and didn't have internet. There were a lot in my area and there were complaints because it wasn't enough for everyone.
You can't do nice things, everyone is going to complain no matter what.
Just so we're clear, the thrust of your complaint is that the government didn't do enough to ensure equal access to education for everyone and that's okay because people shouldn't have such high expectations of The Greatest Nation on Earth?
The greatest who with the what now?
Not my complaint. I wish we had local hotspots setup by the cities, but it gets constantly voted down. Shouldn't take a pandemic to support people.
No it's that they didn't ensure equal access to the internet which is different sort of.
If you mandate that all education will be online and don't provide equal access to the Internet, no it is not.
Hey now let us convince ourselves things are fine, thank you.
That's actually really cool. That's a lot different than I think what most people thought this story was about.
Same here they were mobile hot spots for rural areas. So kids could attend virtual lessons.
