Newsom Brags About ‘Spending More’ On Education But Here’s What He Didn’t Mention

He took to the X platform this week to brag about how, under his watch, spending on “education” has risen $11,000 per pupil:

What did The Gav leave out? Results, of course. And why? Because over the same period of time, students in his state – under his watch – have continued to score among the lowest in the country in terms of reading, math, and writing skills:
