My Friends:
Recent evidence confirms what we all knew — our young students suffered immeasurably in the name of “science” the past few years.
Far-left COVID-19 hysteria forced our schools to close for nearly two years, even when the evidence showed that the costs would far outweigh the benefits.
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) just delivered their findings after conducting an assessment ofstudents’ reading and math levels. Here’s what they found:
"Average scores for age 9 students in 2022 declined 5 points in reading and 7 points in mathematics compared to 2020. This is the largest average score decline in reading since 1990, and the first ever score decline in mathematics."
...read that again, because I did the first time I saw this.
The largest reading DECLINE since 1990. The first EVER decline in math.
In light of this, why don’t we discuss some more stats that Mary Gay Scanlon might want to explain...
Eighty-Seven Thousand more IRS agents. Zero high-quality teachers added to our schools.
Eighty-Billion Dollars to fund IRS auditors. Zero dollars for our school students.
The time for silence and inaction is over. Enough of the politics. Putting our kids first and getting them what they need to recover from these disastrous school closures is essential.
I think it’s time we sent Mary Gay Scanlon packing, back to school, because it’s obvious she’s missing a thing or two...
I’m going back to work now, walking door to door, connecting with my fellow PA families, but I just couldn’t let this go without talking to you about it. The time for silence is over.

P.S. and while I hate to ask – any amount you can chip in goes a long way to helping us educate voters on the difference between me and my opponent. $5, $10, $25, it all means the world to our cause.
