Republicans killed internet access for poor kids. Even basic homework submission now requires always-on connectivity. Most textbooks are digital. Khan Academy, Duolingo, Google Classroom - the entire education infrastructure is online.

Republicans voted to kill this off for millions of students. Every single homework assignment these kids miss, every college app they can’t submit, every opportunity they lose - Republicans engineered this failure. They looked at a system and decided poor families don’t deserve to participate. Republicans don’t know how technology works, but they sure know how to break it for the kids who need it most.
