PISA says America doesn't have a great education system. It used to. Personally, I think this is the greatest threat to American dominance.
And COVID19 in the US can be summarized as: Policymakers and citizens don't understand exponents, let alone differential equations.
A key reason that America doesn't have a great education system is exactly what you've expressed; people don't have any faith that America even COULD have a great education system. That's kinda across the board; America doesn't do big things anymore.

US whites do better than whites in every country bar Estonia. US Asians do better than every country bar Singapore and the fake Chinese results. US Hispanics do much better than any Western Hemisphere Hispanophone nation. Looks pretty good. > And COVID19 in the US can be summarized as: Policymakers and citizens don't understand exponents, let alone differential equations. This does not make the US look particularly bad. Everywhere else in the Western world but Israel is run by clowns too. Even Australia and New Zealand have shown themselves clowns, with their incredibly botched vaccine regime.
