I don't know. I'm in Europe, it doesn't work like the US in my country. I have yet to find a party that doesn't use budgets to further their own cause. It applies to both left and right wing here. Supporting higher budgets doesn't need to mean the curriculum has to be in align with party beliefs. Education needs to be affordable and be good to teachers salary wise. No "higher wages only if". You'll never achieve an agreement in a democracy if there are conditions. All parties should agree to increment spending on education. If a right wing party uses leftists ideology in education as an excuse to not fund education, make it work so there is no argument to be made.
