Survey Finds 85% of Underserved Students Have Access To Only One Digital Device (educationdive.com)
A new research [PDF] on students who took the ACT test, conducted by the ACT Center for Equity in Learning, found that 85% of underserved (meaning low income, minority, or first generation in college) students had access to only one device at home, most often a smartphone. From a blog post: American Indian/Alaskan, Hispanic/Latino, and African American students had the least access. White and Asian students had the most. Nearly a quarter of students who reported that family income was less that $36,000 a year had access to only a single device at home, a 19% gap compared to students whose family income was more than $100,000.

Why the hell would they be open on Sunday during the summer? When school is not in session. Who would go to the library on Sunday other than homeless bums? Red states maintain fiscal solvency by making smart use of public funds; cutting out frivolous bullshit that Blue states love to piss away money on.
