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?
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.
